Florida is 8-3 in their last 11 games against the East and 3-7 in their last 10 against the Metro. The over is 6-1 in Florida’s last 7 games. The over is 22-4-1 in these two teams last 27 head to head meetings.
Pick
Florida comes into this game on a two game losing streak and has allowed 12 goals in those two losses. New York has won five of their last six games and is playing some of their best hockey of the season. The Rangers are 21-8-6 on the road this year and just beat a very goo Carolina team on the road in their last game. Florida has had issues on defense throughout the season and I think New York will take advantage in this matchup. I like the Rangers to get the road win.
