New York at Los Angeles

The Rangers will be going behind the net with Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist was with the Broadway Blueshirts last year where he recorded an amazing 11 shutouts. The Rangers have also added Brad Richards who will be able to bolster the Rangers’ scoring attack from his center position. Richards assisted on 49 goals last season, which tops the best Rangers shooter by 19 from a year ago. The Rangers had a lot of success vs. the Western Conference a year ago, closing at 9-4, while the Kings closed a disappointing 0-4 at home. Lundqvist will have the eyes of Sweden upon him as he should be the difference maker here, so play on New York in this one.
