Rangers vs. Islanders

We are buying low on the Rangers in a classic rivalry spot, viewing this as a mathematical coin-flip where the market overvalues the Islanders’ defensive stability despite injuries to top blueliners Alexander Romanov and Ryan Pulock. Fresh off a 4-3 OT upset of Boston, the Rangers carry superior offensive upside behind Mika Zibanejad’s nine goals this month and a power play that has performed at a top-five level throughout January.
