The Rangers are a winning team at 10-9 and they are 7-4 on the road. Pittsburgh is a losing team at 8-9 and 4-5 at home. Why is NY not a bigger favorite here? New York can score (averaging 3.4 per game). It's their defense that has been suspect. But, over the past five games they have held opponents to just 2.4 per game. Pittsburgh has allowed 4.4 per game over their last five. New York is a "November" team (15-6 over the past two seasons during this month). Back to NY's ability to score: Pittsburgh is 10-42 vs. teams that score 3+ per game over the past two seasons. Rangers in this one.
