Rangers took the lead last night before losing it to the Blue Jackets but they were starting their backup goalie who allowed 5 goals in under 20 shots on goal. Igor Shesterkin should be starting tonight and the Rangers are actually really good on the back end of a back to back going 5-3 straight up. Rangers are 13-3-2 at home while the Wild are 11-7-2 on the road this season. Take the home dog.

The Rangers played like dung on Thursday in losing at Columbus but that has allowed us to get them as home dogs Friday vs. the Wild, and it will be Igor Shesterkin (20-4-2, 2.07 GAA) in net for New York after sitting Thursday. I'd bet him at home against any team as the Russian is 10-1-1 at Madison Square Garden with a 1.97 GAA. The Blueshirts have won five of their past six in the second of a B2B. The Wild are good, but I have to take New York at home at this price.
