This is an 8* DESTRUCTION on the New York Rangers.

Washington star Alexander Ovechkin has guaranteed a win in Game 7, but I think the visitors are going to have their hands full today and absolutely feel that home ice advantage can not be under-rated in this situation. If history is any precedence, then New York has to be loving its chances today as it's won its last five Game 7's dating back to 2012, including a victory in Pittsburgh last year which capped a rally from a 3-1 deficit and the last two series against the Capitals (2012 and '13). Also note that Rangers' goaltender Henrik Lundqvist is 5-0 with a 0.80 GAA and a .937 save percentage in his last five Game 7 appearances. Conversely, history is definitely against the visitors today, all previous series that they led 3-1, Washington has been pushed to Game 7 four times and it's 0-4. Lundqvist and home ice advantage clearly tip the scales in favor of the NEW YORK, definitely making this a price that I can live with paying.
