The Rangers haven't been great at home but Utah is well under .500 away. And certainly the Blueshirts have the superior goalie in Igor Shesterkin. The Russian has helped New York on a 6-1-1 run and after winning the Winter Classic in Miami has one or fewer goals in eight games this season, tied for fourth-most in the league.
The New York Rangers return home after a 12-day, six-game road trip, capped by a 5-1 win over the Panthers (two power-play goals) despite being outshot 37-20. Mammoth ranks fifth in shots against and owns a +141 shot differential, including +21 in high-danger chances. Meanwhile, New York is 26th in shots against and holds a -121 shot differential, with -4 in high-danger chances. Utah already beat the Rangers this season with a sizable shot advantage. I like the road team in this spot.
