T.M. Selection: New York Rangers -1.5.

I like the New York Rangers puckline against the Anaheim Ducks in this game on Tuesday. The Rangers haven't looked their best lately with B2B losses by 3+ goals but they just bounced back in their most recent game with a road win over the Stars 7-4 and that is huge for them since the Stars are good at home and they should have a bit of momentum for this game now. The Rangers have been having a great year and have been 1 of the best teams in the league all year. They just went through their own 2 game mini slump but good teams like this don't go into long slumps in the NHL so now that they have another win under their belt, I expect them to start going on another run again and start racking up some more points. They are getting some low hanging fruit here since the Ducks have been terrible lately and I think the Rangers can just blow by them here. The Ducks have lost 4 games in a row now, their 2 most recent games were a lot closer but their 2 losses before that were both bad, losing by 3+ goals in both games and they gave up 12 goals between those 2 games. They have only given up 6 goals between their 2 most recent games but that is still not good against a team like the Rangers who can score a lot of goals in their games and will make the Ducks pay for any dumb mistakes they make on defense. This is a common theme for them since the Ducks have been giving up a lot of goals this year and that is due in part to not having a good goaltender. I think the Rangers are going to clean up on their home ice here and I expect them to win this game by 2+ goals. I like the Rangers on the puckline here.

T.M. Prediction: 6-2 Rangers.
