Rangers vs Senators Odds and Pick
— TSN 1200 (@TSN1200) February 16, 2022
The Sens rank in the bottom half of the league in both offense and defense. One positive has been the play of goalie Anton Forsberg. The Swede has won each of his three starts, allowing just five goals in that span. The issue is Forsberg played in the first half of the back-to-back Saturday.
It’s unclear which NHL goalie the Senators will play Sunday, as Matt Murray wasn’t available against the Bruins due to an unknown ailment. That becomes a major issue when the Rangers’ projected starting goalie is someone as talented as Shesterkin.
Rangers vs Senators Pick
This is a clear mismatch on paper, but the Rangers can’t look past the Senators. Ottawa has managed to pick up a couple underdog victories recently and still has leading scorer Brady Tkachuk. In the first meeting this season, the Rangers won by only one goal.

This is still a solid bounce-back spot for New York with Ottawa playing the previous night. The Sens are playing a very compact schedule due to COVID, so this will be their eighth game in 13 days. Here are some betting trends to note for Sunday’s matchup:
- Rangers are 7-1 in their last 8 Sunday games
- Road team is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings
- Favorite is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings
The Rangers should take care of a business against an inferior Ottawa squad missing several top players. After a shootout loss to Detroit, New York won’t let this one get past regulation. Take the Rangers 3-way line in the NHL odds at Barstool Sportsbook.
Pick: Rangers 3-Way Line (-118)
