I'm not putting too much stock in New York's four-game win streak. It was all at home and they were supposed to win as significant favorites most of those games. Now they head out on the road after a six game home stand and the Rangers are 3-7 in their last ten road games. The Rangers are also 0-5 in their last five games as a road favorite. Ottawa has a strong home ice edge and a blistering offense, 12th in the league in goals scored and third on the power play. Ottawa is 6-3 the last nine games, losing the last two by a goal each time. It's tough to hold this offense in check and they are an outstanding bounce back team, with the Senators 14-6 in their last 20 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. They've had three full days off to rest and recoup, too, and the Rangers are 15-31-2 in the last 48 meetings. Play Ottawa.
