The Anaheim Ducks 5-game road trip has not been going their way. Anaheim has lost the first four by a combined score of 18-8 and now they have to face the New York Rangers at MSG before heading home to So Cal. Good luck. The Ducks will be without some of their key players, Ryan Getzlaf, Jakob Silfverberg, Sam Steel and possibly Rickard Rakell, and the Rangers have had their number. New York has won 4 of the last 5 meetings and they are 6-0 against Anaheim in their last 6 at The Garden. The Rangers are 19-5-3 in Manhattan and are expected to have one of the best guarding the cage, Igor Shesterkin. He is 29-7-3 with a GAA of 2.07 and a .938 SV%. The Rangers will not come cheap tonight but are still worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
