Sunday in the NHL brings us another busy day, and an important matchup between two Metropolitan Division teams. The New York Rangers make a quick trip from Buffalo to Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins. Each team is playing in their second straight game, and with a quick trip for New York, rest shouldn’t be an issue. We should be in for a great game.

As Pittsburgh is a good team with some urgency and desperation, they will put together a good effort, especially as the home team. However, New York is just too good of a team for the Penguins to handle. The Rangers have won well over half of their games this season for a reason, and they are built for a Stanley Cup. They have plenty of depth, great defense and a team full of NHL stars. We expect them continue to put that on display, so the let’s get into the best bet from our Rangers vs. Penguins predictions.

Not only are we riding with the Rangers, but we would also be willing to advise taking them to win in regulation. This is because New York has just too many weapons on their squad, that very few teams in the NHL should be able to stop. A group with Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad and Adam Fox just had superstars Vladimir Tarasenko and Patrick Kane added to make themselves arguably the best forward core in the entire NHL.

The Penguins have shown too many defensive flaws this season to expect them to hold New York to minimal results. Yes, they just dominated the Flyers on Saturday 5-1, but the Flyers are one of the weaker teams in the league. Prior to that matchup, they fell to the New York Islanders and had to come back from a 4-0 deficit against a bad Columbus Blue Jackets team.

New York has won three of the last four meetings between these teams, so the best bet from our Rangers vs. Penguins predictions is on their money line.
