Preview

The New York Rangers travel to Minnesota to take on the Wild on Tuesday night. This is the second time these teams face off this season, the Wild won the last game 3-2 in New York.

NEW YORK RANGERS

The Rangers are 17-12 on the road and have a 36-15-5 record overall ranking 2nd in the Metropolitan Division. New York have won their last 3 games.

Artemi Panarin leads the Rangers with 61 points, scoring 15 goals and adding 46 assists. Kreider is the scoring leader with 38 goals for New York.

New York are 7-3 in their last 10 games, averaging 2.8 goals, 3.9 assists, 3.4 penalties and 7.1 penalty minutes while giving up 1.8 goals per game with a .935 save percentage.

MINNESOTA WILD

Kirill Kaprizov leads the team with 28 goals, 70 points and 42 assists. 

In their last 10 games the Wild are 2-8, averaging 3.2 goals, five assists, 4.1 penalties and 10 penalty minutes while allowing 4.9 goals per game with a .930 save percentage.

BETTING TRENDS

NY Rangers are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 7 of NY Rangers' last 9 games on the road.

Minnesota are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games.

The total has gone OVER in 9 of Minnesota's last 11 games.

Prediction

The Rangers are playing great defense allowing just 1.8 in their last 10 games and have won 7 of those 10 games. The Wild have struggled lately losing 8 of their last 10 games and allowing 4.9 goals per game. The Rangers get here in better form and I like the fact they'll be looking for revenge. I'm taking the Rangers.
