Devils vs. Rangers Prediction: Monday, December 2nd

It’s only early December and there’s a lot of time left in the season but so far there is something wrong with the Rangers as they’ve hit a skid in the last few weeks. They’ve lost 6 of the last 10 but the way they are losing is the concern with almost no offense to speak of at the moment.

Over the past 6 games in which they’ve lost 5 they have scored just 14 goals against some weaker competition in the Flyers, Flames and Blues! This makes betting on them a stretch right now and given that the Devils are coming to town tonight I would much rather back them and their road record of 10-4-0 on the season!

They also have a big advantage in goal the way things are trending too as Jacob Markstrom has been awesome for New Jersey this season with 11 wins and a 2.62 GAA. By comparison Igor Shesterkin is 8-8-1 on the season with a 3.12 GAA.

The books even favor the Devils tonight which should be a tip off that the sharps are jumping ship on the Rangers right now so let’s follow the smart people and ride New Jersey on the Money Line!
