Vancouver at New York

Vancouver has dropped three straight, losing by five at Carolina on Thursday and by three at New Jersey on Saturday. The Canucks are 2-4, have been outscored 29-22, and won 25 games last season. The Rangers are 4-2 and 3-0 at home, and they won all four by two goals or more, but Igor Shesterkin was in net for three of them. Shesterkin left Friday’s 3-1 loss in Washington in the second period and is now on injured reserve; Joonas Korpisalo is as well. New York has scored 17 goals in six games, 2.8 a game. Last season it averaged 2.9, and only 23 of its 82 games ended with the Rangers ahead by two or more. More money than tickets has come in on the Vancouver puckline. This is a team scoring under three a night, playing without its starting goalie, that has to win by two. Take Vancouver on the puckline tonight.
