Ducks at Rangers picks and predictions
Prediction
Rangers 3, Ducks 1
Moneyline
PASS.
I like the Rangers (-145) to win at MSG Monday night, but I'm betting the puck line.
Puck line/Against the spread
BET RANGERS -1.5 (+165).
The Rangers have been outstanding at Madison Square Garden this season, opening 5-0 at home with convincing victories over the Vancouver Canucks and Tampa Bay Lightning. New York has shown it can create separation, scoring 6 goals against the Canucks and 4 against the Lightning.
Anaheim enters Monday's matchup having dropped 2 straight games by identical 4-2 scores against the Calgary Flames and Boston. The Ducks have struggled defensively late in games, surrendering 5 third-period goals during that stretch.
New York's offense hasn't always been consistent, particularly on the power play, which is converting at just 20%. Anaheim has also won its first 3 road games, so the Ducks certainly aren't pushovers.
Still, the Rangers have been difficult to beat on home ice, and Anaheim's recent defensive struggles could create plenty of scoring opportunities, especially if New York builds an early lead.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 6 (+105).
The Rangers have been strong defensively, allowing just 2.2 goals per game while killing 93.5% of opposing power plays. Garand has also looked sharp in net. Anaheim continues to struggle on special teams, and both teams rank near the bottom of the NHL in shots per game, pointing toward a low-scoring matchup Monday.
