Rangers vs. Lightning Preview
Leg 1: Rangers ML
New York will attempt to earn a crucial road win tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Rangers have posted an overall record of 8-7-2, but they have been an outstanding road team this year (7-1-1).
I expect the Rangers to continue their strong road play, as I love how they match up with this Lightning team.
New York's offense has come to life lately, with ten goals over its last three games.
Leg 2: Artemi Panarin Over 0.5 Points
We will team up with our Action Pro Report for this prop.
The 34-year-old is off to a solid start this year with five goals and seven assists.
Panarin will earn multiple power-play opportunities to get on the board and remains an elite threat in a five-on-five setting.
Our Action Pro Report projects 1.0 points tonight.
