Everybody talks about how good the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, and Vegas Golden Knights are but there is a team north of the border called the Vancouver Canucks who is really, really good. After an impressive 6-4 win over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday at the Rock, the 25-11-3 Canucks will make the short trip tonight to MSG to face the 26-10-2 New York Rangers. The Rangers have stumbled a bit of late, losing 3 of their last 5, and are coming off a 4-3 OT loss to the lowly Montréal Canadiens. It’s no surprise that the Canucks are a road dog in this one but that’s just fine because they are the better team. Vancouver scores more goals than New York, gives up less, and should be considered tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VANCOUVER CANUCKS
