On an ordinary NHL night, the Anaheim Ducks as underdogs at the New York Rangers would have great value. On Tuesday though, the Ducks are playing in leg two of a B2B. Anaheim might still be the play however as the Rangers have dropped 6 of 7 and have went to OT in 4 of 5 games.
Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks actually play pretty well in a B2B having gone 4-1 the last 5 on 0 days rest. Anaheim will also be playing in a 3-games-in-4 nights situation which started off with a 1-2 OT loss to Columbus. The Ducks had won 4 straight road games before that setback and post a very solid 18-11-3 record going away this season.

The Anaheim goaltender for Tuesday night was yet to be confirmed because of the B2B. John Gibson got the start Monday at Pittsburgh so it could be Chad Johnson’s spot in the rotation. Johnson has lost 4 straight starts and has allowed 3+ goals in five straight appearances. The Rangers offense is actually clicking a bit with 3+ in four straight so maybe New York is the play in this one.
New York Rangers
New York should be the fresher team ahead of Tuesday night’s matchup. Yes, they’ve played back-to-back OT games but both have been at Madison Square Garden. Will the Rangers offense that is ranked 26th in goals and 27th in SOG be good enough to test a fatigued Anaheim team in this one?

While the Rangers offense has been putting the puck in the net the last five games, they’ve also given up too many goals to equal a winning streak. New York has allowed 4+ in six straight games. Alexandar Georgiev had won 4 of 5 prior to dropping two in a row and giving up 9 goals in the process.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Ducks are 5-0 the last five road games
- Ducks are 6-1 their last 7 vs. East
- Rangers are 1-4 their last 5 home games
- Rangers are 1-6 the last 7 overall
Free Anaheim Ducks vs. New York Rangers NHL Prediction:
What Tuesday’s wager comes down to is if you trust a tired Ducks team or a bad Rangers squad? Anaheim will be playing their backup goaltender which makes the ‘over’ of 5.5 very appealing. There’s going to be a lot of public wagering on Anaheim but is it the right call?
