New York at Atlanta

The New York rangers have done a nice job on the road this season, picking up 17 wins. But right now this team is not playing well at all. The Rangers have been mired in a slump that has left them with five straight in the loss column. The Rangers offense can't seem to get any traction right now and over their last eight games has produced just 16 goals at 2 per contest. The Thrashers have not mounted much of an attack themselves lately, dropping seven of their last eight. That bad run has had some bad luck involved as they have suffered three of those in either overtime or the result of a shootout. The one thing they have done is perform well as a home dog where they are 5-0 in their last five. The Rangers have struggled vs. Atlanta cashing just two of the last eight. I like Atlanta here, so Im playing them to get the win.
