The New York Rangers and the Arizona Coyotes meet in NHL action from the Mullett Arena on Sunday.

The New York Rangers come into this game on the heels of their 6-2 beatdown win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday. Artemi Panarin has a team-high 13 points with 4 goals and a team-high 9 assists while Mika Zibanejad has 11 points with a team-high 5 goals and 6 assists. Adam Fox has 8 points with 6 assists while Vincent Trocheck has 9 points with 5 assists of his own. Igor Shesterkin has gone 4-0-2 with a 2.57 GAA and a .915 save percentage while Jaroslav Halak is 0-3 with a 3.69 GAA and an .867 save percentage so far this season.

The Arizona Coyotes will try to rebound from a 3-2 OT loss to the Winnipeg Jets last time out. Shayne Gostisbehere leads the ‘Yotes with 8 points including 4 goals and 4 assists. Clayton Keller has 7 points with a team-high 5 assists while Christian Fischer, Travis Boyd and Nick Ritchie all have 5 points with Fischer and Ritchie each logging 3 goals and a pair of assists while Boyd has 4 assists this season. Karel Vejmelka has gone 1-3-1 with a 4.41 GAA and an .884 save percentage while Connor Ingram has gone 1-1 with a 4.02 GAA and an .871 save percentage between the pipes for Arizona this season.

New York is 4-11 in their last 15 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. Arizona is 15-36 in their last 51 home games and 32-74 in their last 106 games overall while the under is 9-1-1 in their last 11 Sunday games.

I get the reasoning for backing either side here, but after I was initially on the under, I decided to change course and back New York. The Rangers finally broke out of their slump against a really good Dallas team on Saturday and even on the back-to-back, in what some could consider a letdown, I just don’t feel that the Coyotes are a team capable of taking advantage of the Rangers who are just the far better team in this matchup. Give me the Rangers in this one.
