This is a 10* on OVER

The East is probably the NHL’s deepest division as it has five good teams. As it presently stands, the Rangers would be the odd team out come playoff time. They are five points back of the fourth place Bruins. So tonight is a big game as they face third place Pittsburgh, who is nine points above the Blueshirts, but has roughly the same goal differential. The Rangers certainly are hoping for a repeat of Monday when they beat the Penguins 8-4 here at Madison Square Garden. The Penguins, if you can believe it, have allowed 15 goals the last two games. But they’ve also scored a total of 13 in the last three, never scoring fewer than four in any game. In only one of the previous seven games have the Pens failed to score four or more goals. So it’s very reasonable to expect another high scoring game tonight. Plus, over the L11 games, the Rangers are 8-3-2 and have THREE games with EIGHT or more goals! (This isn’t your father’s NHL, we guess). The Over is 5-0 in the Rangers last five home games. Pittsburgh is 14-3 Over when they allowed five or more goals their last game. Play on OVER
