The Rangers are the Eastern Conference leader, but in recent games at Madison Square Garden the team has had a lot of lapses - they let in 7 goals from Toronto, then lost to Edmonton, and in the last home game they barely beat Buffalo.
Washington is on a great run, the team had a rough start this season, but now Ovechkin's team has caught up with all the leaders. Washington's average total is barely 5 pucks per game, but we don't think the Rangers game will be low scoring, as the home team has started to concede a lot of goals.
Prediction: at least 5 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 5" bet, odds 1.5
