Rangers vs. Blackhawks Pick
Rangers vs. Blackhawks Moneyline Pick
- Rangers -135 (4 units)
New York comes into this game 5-1-2 in their last eight games, while Chicago is just 2-6-2 in their last 10 contests. The Rangers are just 3-8-3 at Madison Square Garden on the year but they are a sparkling 12-4-1 on the road this season, which is the situation here. Chicago has cooled after a hot start to the year and they are a pedestrian 6-5-3 at the United Center on the season. The Blackhawks are a young team that has plenty of growing still to do and were walloped by a combined 13-1 in their last two games. With as strong as the Rangers have been on the road, take New York here as Shesterkin backstops them to a victory.
