Two teams in need of a win collide. NY has lost four straight and Pittsburgh has lost three in a row and six of seven. Neither team is playing good defense but NY's offense is much better. Over those seven games, Pittsburgh has scored no more than 3 goals and has gotten 2 or less five times. Facing that kind of offense, the Rangers should have no problem here as they put up 3.2 per game at home on average. The Penguins are a dismal 11-43 vs. teams that score 3+ goals per game over the last 2 seasons. And, home teams off 3+ losses vs. a team off a loss are 81-24 (77%) over the last 5 seasons. New York on the money line here.
