New York at Columbus

It's a difficult situational spot for New York. It's their third game in four days and they began it with an emotional win at home over Tampa Bay, 6-3, a team that had eliminated them from the Eastern Conference finals last year. The players admitted they were pumped up for that game and then lost the next night against St. Louis, 3-2, as a -165 favorite. The Rangers are 2-3 over the last five contests losing twice as chalk. Columbus is playing just its second game in four days and first at home since a 4-3 win over Ottawa as a +165 underdog. They've won two of their last three at home, including a 5-4 win over the Islanders as a +195 dog. Columbus is 7-4 at home after allowing 5 goals or more in the previous game, plus 29-19 off a loss by 4 goals or more in divisional play. Play Columbus.
