Team News
The New York Rangers could be one of the teams to watch in the playoffs, as they have been consistent throughout the regular season. They sit fifth overall in the Eastern Conference, and they have won eight of their last ten games. They come into this game after winning each of their previous two.
It looks likely that the Rangers will claim their berth in the playoffs before the end of this week, as they are just four points off the New Jersey Devils, who secured their spot over the weekend. The Rangers landed a 4-3 road win over the Florida Panthers in their previous game.

The Columbus Blue Jackets will already be looking ahead to next season, as they are out of the mix for a playoff finish this term. They remain bottom of the conference standings, as they have gone just 23-42-7 in the NHL this term.
The Blue Jackets have also lost six of their previous ten in regulation, and have picked up just three wins over that period. Their most recent defeat was a heavy road loss against the Montreal Canadiens, as they were eventually beaten 8-2.
Picks
The Rangers look like a credible contender for conference glory in the playoffs. We expect them to maintain that charge with a victory in front of their home fans on Tuesday against the Blue Jackets.
