Panthers at Rangers
(NHL) Panthers (FLA) vs. Rangers (NYR),
Point Spread: -1.00 | 105.00 Rangers (NYR) (Home)
Result: Loss
It somehow seems appropriate to paraphrase the late, great Chic Anderson from his 1973 Secretariat Belmont call for CBS, "The New York Rangers are moving like a tremendous machine!" Only one of four NHL teams to not lose in regulation time this season, New York has also scored at least four goals in all of its six games. Goalie Igor Shesterkin has a 1.98 GAA, each line is clicking, and Artemi Panarin is already making a case for the Hart Trophy with 13 points thru just six games. This is also a revenge game for New York after the bitter East finals loss to the Panthers last spring. Florida has not been flying at the same altitude early in the season, and just lost 2 of 3 in a homestand, including a humbling 5-1 setback vs. the Wild on Tuesday night.
