Penguins vs. Rangers

Our analysis of goaltending advanced metrics shows a clear advantage for the Rangers that is not properly reflected in the current price, making this a true pick’em at MSG. We are capitalizing on a critical rest advantage for New York, as Pittsburgh travels for this divisional clash without captain Sidney Crosby, who was placed on IR on February 25 with an Olympic-sustained lower-body injury. While the Rangers are navigating the indefinite absence of Igor Shesterkin, they benefit from a stagnant Penguins transition game that struggled for consistency in their recent stretch without their primary playmaker.
