This has been about as evenly played a series as you're going to find. Through four games the series is deadlocked at two games apiece, and the margin of goals as been 1 in favor of New York 10-9. Both of these teams have held serve on home ice, winning both their home games. The pressure is surely on Washington here, as New York is going home for Game Six regardless of the outcome, but have the incentive to go back with an opportunity to close out the series with a win here. I like the dog that will be under less pressure. The Rangers have been 31-15 in their last 46 vs. the Southeast, and overall have won 7 of their last 10 games. The Capitals are just 5-12 against the Atlantic in their last 17. Play on New York.
