Panthers-Rangers Game 2 Props

New York Rangers +1.5: -285

Mika Zibanejad to Record 1+ Point: -205

Sergei Bobrovsky Over 24.5 Saves: -130

New York Rangers +1.5

As it stands, it is hard to imagine that the Rangers won't come out with their hair on fire in this one. Surprisingly enough, the Rangers could not find the back of the net and were flat for most of the Game 1 contest. Above all else, don't expect that to be the case again.

In front of what is expected to be a roaring, sold-out home crowd at Madison Square Garden, New York has gone down in defeat consecutively just twice in these playoffs. Not to mention, they also have managed to lose back-to-back games only a pair of times dating back to the beginning of May. Furthermore, this is an extremely tough group of players to beat on their home ice, and with Rangers fans expected to be at a feverish pitch, relying on New York to have a bounce-back game seems to be in the cards.

Mika Zibanejad to Record +1 Point

One of the more talented skaters on the Rangers roster, Mika Zibanejad is a mismatch for any defender standing in his wake. Since New York will most likely be firing on all cylinders to begin this one, Zibanejad and the rest of this Rangers first line may come out ready to make a statement. Over the span of the 31-year-old from Sweden's last 17 games, he has managed to record 15 assists in 17 games. Despite his goal-scoring not being among the league's elite, he is also more than capable in this area as well. At the end of the day, Zibanejad and the first line love doing damage on the power play, and this is where you may see the Rangers center record at least one point in this matchup.

Sergei Bobrovsky Over 24.5 Saves

After his outstanding performance in Game 1, it is hard not to imagine that Mr. Bobrovsky won't be on his A-game yet again later this evening. Following his 24 saves on Wednesday, it may be difficult for Bobrovsky to record another shutout with New York planning on throwing every wrinkle at him offensively, but if he ends up facing a lot of shots on goal, then he may be in line for a busy night.

Throughout the playoffs, Bobrovsky has been a man on a mission after a sturdy regular season that saw him record a .237 goal average against and a shiny .915 save percentage. Yes, the 35-year-old Russian has failed to stop at least 24.5 saves in four of his previous five games, but with New York planning on unleashing an aggressive brand of offensive after being shut out in Game One, Bobrovsky certainly won't have to worry about being bored when patrolling the crease on Friday.
