The Vancouver Canucks have some value here with the plus money given their current form and the fact they’ve won four straight against the Rangers. However, it’s safe to say the New York Rangers have been the more consistent team throughout, and they’ve played their best recent hockey at home. Given these lines these days, you could argue the Rangers should be steeper favorites. Give me the Rangers and the reasonable price.
