The Rangers lost to Pittsburgh yesterday at home and now they are on the road in Columbus who will want revenge. Columbus has lost to the Rangers in their last two meetings so they have the Rangers in a good spot at home while they are playing better hockey right now. The Blue Jackets have been solid at home winning five of their last six games there, despite losing six of their last eight meetings against the Rangers. This game will be close and competitive but the home team should edge out a tired Rangers team on a back to back. The Rangers are 1-3 straight up this season on the road in a back to back situation. Columbus is 13-6 straight up this season as a home underdog.

Best bet: take Columbus on the moneyline (ML).
