New York at Boston

A pair of defensive dynamos in the East square off this afternoon. New York is #10 in goals allowed, and the Rangers are on a 20-8-3 run UNDER the total on the road, including 18-7-3 UNDER as a road dog. They come off a 4-1 win over the Islanders and are 21-6-1 UNDER the total when facing an opponent that allowed two goals or fewer in its previous game. Boston is #12 in goals surrendered, No. 1 in shots on goal allowed, and comes off of a 5-1 win at Buffalo. The Bruins are 61-41 UNDER versus teams that average 2.85+ goals. With the UNDER 8-2 when these rivals clash, look for another fierce defensive duel. Take the UNDER.
