This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the New York Rangers.

Some times a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, I think New York should be an even bigger one as I definitely feel that all signs point to a comfortable victory for the home side. The Rangers have been surging behind the great play of Rick Nash, who will be extra motivated today to beat his former team; note that Nash's 37 goals are second in the NHL and he has nine goals and six assists during his team's 8-1-2 stretch, most recently handling Buffalo 3-1 on Friday. Columbus is playing the finale of a five game trip and is coming off a 3-1 loss at Montreal just last night; suffice it to say, there's no question in my mind that the team is going to come in with "heavy legs" this evening. No need to overanalyze this one, lay the price with confidence on the RANGERS.
