The New York Rangers return to Madison Square Garden after losing in a shootout to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the early hours of Sunday. In that meeting, the Rangers lead two times before needing an equaliser with only 67 seconds left on the clock to force overtime. Madison Square has been a safehouse for the Rangers, for most of the season, with 21 home wins making them second-best in the NHL.
New York’s power play is ranked 6th in the league, but they have three players with 10+ goals , the man advantage this campaign and two more with nine so they are incredibly dangerous a man up. The Florida Panthers have amazing kill, but only the Anaheim Ducks have taken more penalties than them, so the Rangers will have their chance.

The Florida Panthers have been outstanding on the road lately, winning 12 of their last 13, their only loss being 0-1 against the Carolina Hurricanes. Panthers’ Aleksander Barkov got three points the last time these squads played in December, all assists, to make it 23 points in 27 career matches against the Rangers.
Barkov was checked in the head by Alexis Lafrenière in that game so fans can expect a retribution for that early in this game, but this would be New York’s Matt Rempe who has proven that he is not afraid to drop the gloves. Brandon Montour has gotten the most points for Florida recently with eight in his last four matches. Which is all the more impressive since he is a defenceman.
MatchPlug Prediction On New York Rangers VS Florida Panthers
This game should be a powerful one with the two top teams in the East locking horns. Both of these squads are top 10 offences but more importantly, they are top five defences.
The New York Rangers could win the match with their recent excellent form at home, while the Florida Panthers have played nine away games without losing more than twice. Experts predict Rangers VS Panthers to be for under 6.5 goals.
