Boston at New York

The Rangers can't forget their last game against the Bruins. That was 16 days ago in Boston before a national TV audience. Let's just say it did not go well for New York. The Bruins buried the Rangers, 10-2. Maybe the Rangers will have extra motivation. What they don't have is defense with the absence of goalie Igor Shesterkin and No. 1 defenseman Adam Fox. New York is surrendering an average of 5.2 goals per game in its last eight contests. Boston has scored four or more goals in seven of its last 10 games. The Bruins are averaging 4.1 goals a game during their last 12 games. The Rangers won the first matchup of the season between these two teams. 6-2, at Boston on Nov. 28. There have been at least eight goals scored in three of the last four meetings in the series. Take the OVER.
