San Jose at New York

San Jose has won two of three, including an impressive 3-0 win at red-hot New Jersey in which Martin Jones turned aside 28 shots. The team has outshot all but one opponent. The power play has produced seven goals in seven games, and the Sharks' penalty-killing unit is 24-of-25 in the last six contests. They come off poor outing, but the Sharks are 15-6 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game, plus 13-3 away against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. The last-place New York Rangers have problems everywhere with a losing record overall and at home. New York is #24 in goals scored, #21 in goals allowed, and #22 in penalty killing. Their coach plays things far too conservatively, coming off a win over Nashville despite getting only 15 shots the entire game! That ended a five-game skid where they were outscored 20-11. New York is 4-9 after a victory, and San Jose is 30-14 ATS after a loss by two goals. Play San Jose.
