Stephen Nover's NHL Friday Totals Dominator
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. NY Rangers,
Total: 6.00 | -125.00 Under
Result: Push
Total: 6.00 | -125.00 Under
Result: Push
Over the total often has been the way to go this season in the NHL.
But not for this game.
This is going to be a high intensity matchup with the Penguins three points ahead of the Rangers for second place in the Metropolitan Division.
The teams met for the first time this season a month ago in Pittsburgh. It was a tight-checking game with outstanding goaltending. Pittsburgh won, 1-0. I see that as a blueprint for this game.
The Penguins are tight-checking on the road and have an all-star goalie, Tristan Jarry. The Under is 8-1-1 in Pittsburgh's last 10 road contests.
The Rangers have the best goalie in hockey this season, Igor Shesterkin. He leads the league with a .936 save percentage. The Under has cashed in 15 of the Rangers' last 22 home games. The Rangers will be emphasizing defense after an embarrassing, 7-4, road loss to the Devils this past Tuesday.
