Jets vs Rangers Prediction

The Rangers have been playing very well coming into this game as they have won 5 of their last 6. They have won their last 2 straight and their goalies have been unreal in those games as they each had 1 start and both posted a shutout in those games. They have only allowed 3 goals in their last 4 games and they have been very good defensively. They have also scored 4 goals in each of their last 2 games and they are going up against a Jets team that is barely hanging onto playoff contention coming into this game. The Jets have lost 2 straight games and both were against very good teams but so are the Rangers and the Jets did not play well in either game. They lost 6-1 to the Panthers and then blew a 4-2 lead against the Lightning losing that one 7-4. The Rangers have been playing much better recently and they will keep heating up in these games going into the playoffs. The Rangers will win this game on the puckline.

Notable Quotes

 
“I thought we were in control of the hockey game. We were up 4-2 and then they had a couple of shifts back-to-back where they were able to score that third goal and then equalize the game before the period was over. We did a lot of good things for two periods.’’ - Dave Lowry on his team’s loss against the Lightning on Saturday night.
 
 
“We were outstanding. We just went out there and played our game.” - Gerard Gallant on his team’s win against the Red Wings on Saturday night.
