I have taking the Rangers in almost every game this post season, and I am not stopping now. The Rangers are the President's Trophy winners for a reason and this is a great price for them. The last 3 games have gone into overtime showing how close these two teams are. After being outshot 77-46 in both road games I expect a full defensive flip from the Rangers at home. The Rangers defend their home ice just as good as the Panthers do, setting this up for a THRILLER. The Rangers strongest link is their special teams both on the Power Play and the Penalty Kill. Both have been really non-existent this series and it MUST come to fruition this game. NY went 1-3 on the man up last game and the Panthers went 2-4 which was all the difference as their game tying and winning goal came on the man advantage. This is a do or die game for the Rangers as they cannot go back to Florida losing 3 in a row. The Rangers are 35-13 at home and 23-6 revenging a loss versus opponent as a favorite this season. This is big rebound spot tonight for them, play the Rangers ML here. -Joey Tron
