Rangers at Jets odds are available at Tipico Sportsbook.

Jaroslav Halak and Connor Hellebuyck are the projected goalies for the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets. Halaks last faced the Jets on Jan. 9, 2020, as a member of the Boston Bruins. Hellbuycks has only played against the Rangers once last season, and he had a poor record.

Jets hired a new coach and will play with a different team. Jets' last 3 losses against the Rangers have been against Shesterkin. New York is playing their third road game in 4 nights.

There are too many conflicting trends to confidently bet the total. New York Under trends don't apply considering Shesterkin is not in net and Winnipeg's Over trends may not continue under the new coach.
