Rangers vs Wild Prediction and Odds (New York Looks for Revenge on Tuesday Night)
The New York Rangers have won three-straight games heading into tonight's action against the Minnesota Wild.
The Wild are in the middle of a contested playoff race in the Western Conference, and wins need to start flowing for Minnesota, who has lost two-straight, if they want to avoid falling out of a postseason berth.
Minnesota downed New York 3-2 in the previous meeting between these two teams this season.
Let's take a look at the odds via WynnBET for tonight's interconference rematch.

Rangers vs. Wild Prediction and Pick
The Rangers are one of the most frustrating teams to handicap and bet on this season. Their analytics show that they're an average team at best, but they have the best goaltender in the NHL in Igor Shesterkin who constantly steals games for them.
With that being said, the Rangers outrank the Wild in both expected goals for per 60 minutes, and expected goals against per 60 minutes, so New York could be in a good spot as an underdog tonight.
The goaltenders have yet to be officially announced, but I wouldn't recommend betting against the Rangers when Shesterkin is in net. Wait for the official confirmation before placing your bet.
