At 1:07 PM ET, my NHL Early Riser is on the New York Rangers. The Rangers have underachieved in recent weeks. They're better than they've played. They got back on track in their last game though and now are poised to go on a strong run to close out 2024. The Kings are also a solid team but they are far less formidable on the road. They lost their last game and are now playing an early game in a hostile environment. The home team won both games last year. The Rangers won 4-1 at home. The price is fair and they will their 2nd straight on Saturday afternoon.
