✅ The New York Rangers have won three straight games and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. In the month of April, the Rangers are 6-2-1. The Rangers have been especially good on the road of late, winning four straight games and they are 7-1-0 in their last eight games on the road.

✅ The New York Rangers are the top team in the NHL in goals allowed per game at 2.44. Igor Shesterkin has been spectacular this season, posting the best goals-against average in the NHL among goaltenders with at least 40 appearances (2.01). He is tied for third with 36 victories and has a .936 save percentage, tops in the NHL.
New York Rangers
The New York Rangers (50-21-6; 40-37 ATS) earned their third straight victory when they defeated the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, 3-0. It was the third straight shutout for New York, who has scored 11 goals while allowing zero over their last three games. The Rangers have recorded four shutouts in April and are tied for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division with 106 points.
The story of the game was clearly Shesterkin, who stopped 31 shots in the victory. The New York netminder has three shutouts in his last five starts and has allowed 13 total goals over his last nine games. It is not surprising that the Rangers are first in goals-against average (2.44), but have not been nearly as invincible on the road, posting a 2.69 GAA.
New York Islanders
The New York Islanders (35-31-10; 36-40 ATS) lost at home to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday in overtime, 3-2. The Islanders are eliminated from playoff contention, 16 points behind Washington for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with only six games left play. New York is 19-13-5 at home and are 5-4-1 in their last 10.
The Islanders twice held one goal leads in this game but could not close it out. Ilya Sorokin played well for the Islanders, stopping 39 of 42 shots. Sorokin has a 2.32 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage, posting seven shutouts, including one against Montréal on April 15. Sorokin may be wearing down, however, as he has allowed at least three goals in four of his last five starts. The Islanders are sixth in goals allowed per game (2.72) but have been very good at home, posting a 2.35 GAA.
