Rangers vs Jets Prediction

The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked great in their games this season with their 44-17-4 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West with the best record in the entire NHL. They have also looked great on their home ice with their 23-5-4 home record. Meanwhile, the Rangers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 31-27-6 record overall which has them in 5th place of their division in the East and out of a playoff spot. They are still in the playoff race for the Wild Card spots, but they have a lot of work to do and they haven't been a great road team this year with their 15-13-3 road record. They haven't looked that good lately either, going 5-3-2 in their last 10 games and losing 3 games in a row now. They are coming off a really bad loss to the Blue Jackets in their last one too. The Jets are also coming off a loss in their last one, but they lost to one of the best teams in the East, the Carolina Hurricanes. They have also looked a lot better lately as they are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games and have been the more consistent team all season. The Rangers were starting to play better, but they have reverted back to their slumping ways now and the Jets can take advantage of that on home ice as they look to bounce back. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“It came in different ways against us tonight. We either get beat, the coverage broke down or it bounces in a different direction or we have somebody fall and the coverage breaks down and goes to odd-man numbers down in our zone. It was different reasons, every goal was a different scenario. At the end of the day, it’s not good enough. We gave up chances that were big and right in front of our net and that can’t happen.” - Peter Laviolette after his team’s loss against the Blue Jackets in their game on Sunday.


“We gave up a couple coverage goals in our end of the rink. They’re a good team and they pressure. We knew that was going to be coming at us. End of the day, it just didn’t seem like we had it tonight.” - Scott Arniel after his team’s loss against the Hurricanes in their game on Sunday.
