Rangers at Canadiens
(NHL) Rangers (NYR) vs. Canadiens (MTL),
Point Spread: -1.50 | 122.00 Rangers (NYR) (Away)
Result: Win
The Rangers look the best team in the NHL at the moment, so no reservations going with them on the Puck Line and laying the extra goal. Only a wild 6-5 OT loss to Utah has dented an otherwise pristine start to the season for the Rangers, in whose four wins (out of five) they have outscored the opposition 19-4. Already, 12 different goal scorers this season for New York, and Artemi Panarin starting to campaign early for the hart Trophy with 12 points in five games. Moreover, Igor Shesterkin has a 1.97 GAA thus far despite being in goal for that Utah loss. Meanwhile, things are slowing down for the Canadiens, with four losses in five, and the offense struggling to put the puck in the net (outscored 14-7 in current 3-game slump).
