The New York Rangers will be a huge dog tonight when they visit the Colorado Avalanche and so they should be. The Avs are the best team in hockey at 13-1-5, are 7-0-2 in the mountains, and are riding a 6-game winning streak. However, the 10-9-2 Rangers should not be taken lightly when they are the visiting team. New York is 9-2-1 away from MSG and is expected to have Igor Shesterkin between the pipes. If anyone can slow down the Avs’ offensive juggernaut, it’s him. The Rangers are definitely worth a consideration in this situation.
