Game Overview
The New York Rangers host the Nashville Predators at Madison Square Garden in a matchup between two teams struggling for consistency. The Rangers enter with a 7-7-2 record but are winless at home (0-6-1), while the Predators are 5-8-4 and on a four-game losing streak. Both teams are under pressure to turn their seasons around, with the Rangers seeking their first home win and the Predators looking to snap a road skid.
Key Factors to Consider
- The Rangers have shown resilience in recent games, winning three of their last four against the Predators after a home loss. However, their home record is abysmal, and they have lost seven straight at MSG. The Predators have allowed 3.47 goals per game and are 1-4 in games when listed at +142 or longer on the moneyline. Both teams have struggled defensively, but the Rangers have been more consistent offensively.
- The Rangers won the last meeting 4-0 at MSG. Over the past 10 games, the series is split 5-5. The home team has covered the puck line in four of the last five meetings, and the Rangers have won the third period in each of their last six games when leading after the second period.
- No major injuries reported for either team, but the Rangers' goaltending has been inconsistent, and the Predators' penalty kill, while respectable, has been stretched thin during their losing streak.
- The game is being played at Madison Square Garden, a venue where the Rangers have struggled this season. The Predators are on a four-game losing streak and have lost five consecutive road games. The Rangers are desperate for a home win, while the Predators are looking to break a road skid.
- The Rangers are highly motivated to secure their first home win of the season, while the Predators are desperate to end their losing streak and improve their road record.
