Why The Rangers Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Rangers do a fine job scoring the puck. As a team, the Flames give up 3.67 goals per game. That makes it very hard to keep games close. New York has a chance to put up four or five goals, and that would help them cover the spread easily. The Rangers need to be aggressive in the offensive zone and get their shots off. Calgary has their best goalie in net, so it is not going to be an easy task. However, if the Rangers find way to put the puck in the net, they will cover this spread.

The Flames are not a good offensive team. The Rangers need to take advantage of that. Shesterkin allowed just over three goals per game, and three or less will get the job done in this game. The Flames will not score, and the Rangers can put up three or four goals. With that, New York should be able to cover the spread.

Why The Flames Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Flames do not score very well. They average just 2.67 goals per game, so their wins will come from the defensive zone. Luckily, the Flames have their best goalie in net. Jacob Markstrom is the better of the two goalies for the Flames. He is allowing less than three goals per game, and that is going to be huge for the Flames in this game. His save percentage is also over .900. If Markstrom can have a good game, and keep the Rangers scoring down, they will cover the spread.

Final Rangers-Flames Prediction & Pick

This game could be low-scoring. It is hard to predict, that is for sure. With that said, I like this game to stay within a goal. The Flames are the underdogs in this one. For that reason, I will take the Flames to cover this spread at home.

Final Rangers-Flames Prediction & Pick: Flames +1.5 (-245), Under 6.5 (-140)
