Something has to give when the Blackhawks visit the Rangers Thursday from Madison Square Garden. Combined these two teams have gone 3-12 in their last 15 cumulative games. New York would be perceived to have the advantage on their own ice where they are 12-6-3 this year. Does Chicago make a run though?

Free Chicago Blackhawks vs. New York Rangers NHL Prediction:
A Ward vs. Lundqvist matchup is looking like a high scoring affair but does Chicago gain an edge if they give Delia the nod? Kane is on fire for Chicago as is Alex Debrincat. The ‘Hawks will have had two nights off before this game but New York has momentum after a 6-2 win over Carolina as +130 home underdogs.

There’s just not much value in the Rangers at the price, even at home.
