Washington at New York

Things couldn't have started worse for the Rangers as they have dropped both games in Washington, scoring a total of 1 goal. But, this game is at home and I expect their offense to return enough to get the win. New York averages 3.1 goals per game here and their defense, which held the Capitals to 2 goals per game in the opening two games, allows just 2.4 per game. Washington scores at home, but on the road they average just 2.4 per game. After a loss by 2+ goals this season, the Rangers are 15-5. This is basically a must-win game for them and I think they get it.
