LOSS
Rangers vs. Kings
Kings Moneyline
ANALYSIS
Our pick leverages the Kings' elite defensive system against a Rangers team in freefall, missing both Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox while surrendering a staggering 30 goals over their last five games. New York is also battling fatigue on the tail end of a road back-to-back following yesterday’s 5-3 loss to Anaheim. With Darcy Kuemper (2.48 GAA) facing a struggling Jonathan Quick (5.64 GAA in relief), the Kings' 2nd-ranked xGA/60 suppression system should easily neutralize the Rangers' depleted depth.
Key Data
