Prediction: St. Louis Blues 3 – New York Rangers 2
Coming into this game, there is not a lot of confidence with the Rangers in a bit of a slump. Plus two of their best players Mika Zibanejad and Jacob Trouba will be playing this game hurt and the Blues are a very underrated team. The St Louis Blues should beat the Rangers at home, but they will do it in overtime.
