New York at Ottawa

The Rangers have gotten off to a great start to the ‘08-09 season and enter this game having won three of their last four. Not only have they been impressive on home ice they have produced a 5-2-1 road record as well. The Senators have stumbled out of the gate, and one of the reasons why is that they haven't been able to protect home ice where they are just 3-5-2. Lately, things have gone from bad to worse for the Senators who have now gone six games without claiming victory. They have been in a complete offensive funk, as they have netted just seven goals in six games. It is tough to find the win column when you’re averaging a tick over a goal per game. The Rangers are the valued side here as a live dog and I'll back them.
