Pick

I’m backing the Rangers here. New Jersey stole one on Saturday, but the Rangers were heads and shoulders the better team in the first two games of the series and you could argue that the switch in goaltending threw New York off a little bit. It’s no excuse, but it’s understandable. New Jersey’s been really good on the road, but I feel that the Rangers know they can’t let this slip by twice. Give me the Rangers to take a 3-1 series lead here.
