Game Preview
NHL action is set for Madison Square Garden on Monday evening, as the below-par New York Rangers chase rare back-to-back wins.
It has been a forgettable season for the Rangers, as they already look to be out of playoff contention, sitting bottom of the Metropolitan Division. Across their last ten, the Rangers have won just twice. Over the same period, they have suffered defeats in regulation.
Home form has been a major concern throughout the campaign, going 7-15-5 at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers also have the second-worst offensive record in the Eastern Conference.
The Blue Jackets will be hopeful of a positive result on the road this week, as they bid to improve on their current position of fifth in the Metropolitan Division. Despite losing their last two, the Blue Jackets have won seven of their last ten.
A return to form will be required on Monday after losing in overtime against the Islanders over the weekend. That defeat also means that they have allowed seven goals in their last two games.
Columbus Blue Jackets vs. New York Rangers Picks
It has been a miserable home campaign for the Rangers this term, and further misery could be inflicted on Monday. We like the chances of the Blue Jackets bouncing back to winning form.
