N,Y. Rangers -½ +250 over CAROLINA

8:05 PM EST. Once again we’re going to play both the regulation line and OT included line for 1 unit each. Therefore the wagers are as follows:

NYR -½ +250 for 1 unit

NYR +135 for 1 unit

The Rangers are starting to be a threat to not only make the playoffs but to put a little fear into any team that will potentially face them should they sneak in. The Rags have won 12 of their last 18 games. Do you really think it’s a coincidence that ever since they made Queen Henrik their third string goalie they started racking up wins consistently? This Rangers’ team is an relentless and offensive juggernaut that just keeps coming. Tied 3-3 with Chicago last game out in the third, the Rags erupted for three unanswered to pull away. It’s a rare day when the Rangers don’t score three times in a game and lately they have been scoring four or more frequently. In nine of those aforementioned 12 wins, they scored four times or more. Figure the Rangers to be a little extra juiced here, as the Hurricanes are one of the teams they’re chasing to get in. 

Here’s an interesting fact; The winner of Carolina’s last 10 games have all scored four goals or more. That’s not a great stat if you’re laying some lumber with the chalk. Here are those last 10 games:

NAS 1 - CAR 4

CAR 3 - EDM 4 (OT)

CAR 5 - NJ 2

DAL 4 - CAR 1

VEG 5 - CAR 6 (SO)

ARI 3 - CAR 5

STL 6 - CAR 3

CAR 4 - VAN 3 (SO)

CAR 3 - VEG 4

CAR 4 - WIN 1

The Hurricanes are a quality hockey team but they have average goaltending at best and that’s why their results are so erratic. The proof is in the pudding that Carolina is just as likely to win 5-3 as they are to lose 5-3 and it’s for that reason that the superior goaltending of the Rangers when Lundqvist is not in net is absolutely worth a bet here. The Rangers potent offense also makes them worthy of a bet.
