Maybe all it took for the Rangers to snap out of their funk was one game like Saturday at Montreal. In the 4-3 win, the offense came to life again, especially Artemi Panarin, who scored a goal and had three assists. Now, it's back to MSG, and we know the Rangers have been blanked in each of their three home games, but that was all non-sensical, as Mike Sullivan's guys had plenty of quality chances in those games as well as the 2-1 OT loss at Toronto last week. Igor Shesterkin (.961 saves) has been brilliant in goal, and the Wild enters on the heels of three straight losses (scoring only four times) on the current road trip. Play Rangers on the Puck Line.

I had the Rangers on Saturday and I'm going back to them here. This is a tough spot for Minnesota playing its fourth straight road game. The Wild have scored just four goals in the first three and things won't get any easier on Monday against New York's defense. I'll back the Rangers at -120 to win their second straight game.
