Prediction

We should have a good one tonight in Madison Square Garden as the Rangers are back at home after an extended road trip.

The Rags are on fire, going 8-0-2 in their last 10 games and that doesn't look like it going to slow down tonight.

Netminder Igor Shesterkin should be between the pipes for the Rangers tonight and while he has allowed over 3 goals a game over his last 5, he is 4-0-1 and will look to put together another solid performance tonight against the Jets.

Look at what he has done against the Jets in his career…

Entering today's game, Igor Shesterkin of @NYRangers has a career save percentage of .983 vs. Winnipeg.

That plus the fact that the Rangers have scored 4+ goals in 7 of their last 8 games, it is hard to not roll with the home Rags in this one.

The Jets will be starting David Rittich tonight in net and the Jets have dropped 2 of the last 3 with Rittich between the pipes and I think that is the case here again tonight.

Look for Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad to have big nights and the Rangers to get another big win at home!

Let's finish this off with the Bread man, who has been on absolute fire.

Artemi Panarin notes & trends:

Panarin has an assist in 7 straight games and also has a great track record vs the Jets.

He has an assists in 7 straight games against the Jets as well, with 10 assists in that stretch.

I expect his awesome form to continue tonight and help lead the Rangers to another big win at home!
