The Rangers continue their four-game road trip while the Canucks conclude a season-high six-game homestand, and the sharp players are making a move
With seven games on the card Tuesday night, been monitoring the lines throughout the day, and it's clear where the sharp money is coming in with the nightcap.
The New York Rangers are in Vancouver to face the Canucks, and there is still value if you're looking to bail out with late action.
Let's do a deep dive into this one:
WHY NEW YORK: The Rangers are in sixth place in a stacked Eastern Conference, and are chasing the pack in the Metropolitan Division in fourth place behind Washington, Carolina and New Jersey. They arrive in Vancouver on a two-game win streak including a victory in Seattle to open a four-game road trip. This is a great spot for the Rangers to keep the winning vibes afloat.
WHY VANCOUVER: The Canucks bring an end to a season-high six-game homestand, and would love nothing more than to grab a victory before heading across the continent for six games. Since opening the season with three straight losses, the Canucks have reeled off a 9-4-1 win streak and are now sitting in third place in the Pacific Division and also sit in sixth place in the Western Conference. It's never must-win mode in November, but games like this are critical.

THE PICK - RANGERS -135: New York's defense has held three of its last four opponents to two or fewer goals, including a pair of shutouts. Further back, five of the Rangers' last seven opponents have been held to two or less. And the fact remains the Blueshirts are 6-1-0 away from Manhattan, and seem to up their game when they're ordering room service. The Rangers lead the league in goals-for and against on the road, at 4.43, and 1.43), respectively. Look for a solid performance as the wiseguys get it right with a sharp play on the Rangers.
