New York at St. Louis

New York has been a great road team this season, going 12-6, and the Rangers will likely feel more comfortable playing in St. Louis after losing four of five at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers won the first meeting 3-2 on Nov. 24. The Blues have lost seven of eight against the Metropolitan Division, and they are 2-12 after allowing two or fewer goals in their previous game, as the Blues come off a 1-0 win over Winnipeg. New York has won five of six following a home loss by at least three goals, and the Rangers are 8-2 after any loss by that many. Jordan Binnington will start for St. Louis, and he is 7-7-5 with a bloated 3.49 goals-against average and an .869 save percentage. Igor Shesterkin is probable for New York. Take the Rangers.
