Rangers vs. Maple Leafs Pick

While the Rangers improved their defensive record since early December, they've been especially dominant away. For the entire season, the Blueshirts allowed 2.20 goals against per game on the road, the league's best average.

Rangers goaltender and reigning Vezina Trophy winner Igor Shesterkin has a .931 save percentage with 10.61 Goals Saved Above Expected in 13 road starts this season.

DraftKings, BetMGM (-120)

There's quite an agreement among top-rated sportsbooks when it comes to the total, with the Under price ranging between -120 and -125. There's still more value at DraftKings and BetMGM, priced at -120, but there's not a big variance in this market.

However, it’s worth getting in on the price while the total is still 6. If there's any risk of movement, it would have the total move to 5.5.  Don't be as interested in the total if it shifts that far.
