The New York Rangers (15-12-1) host the Los Angeles Kings (17-9-3) on Saturday, with both teams ready to bring out all their starters. The Rangers haven't reported any injury outages, which is good news since they've dropped seven of their last 10 games. However, the Kings are also reporting a healthy lineup as they look to continue to add to their 7-3 streak (they won four straight before losing to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night). That doesn't mean it will be an easy win, however, as the Rangers, despite their problems, are putting up a strong defense this season. They have a save percentage of 91.5%, and this could make the difference in an otherwise tight game. This is the first time these two will meet this season, and Rangers GM Chris Drury is ready to get his team back on track.

Our New York Rangers vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction
The Rangers were on a great run the past couple of seasons, making it to the Conference Finals in two of the last three and taking the President's Trophy last year. However, the team that's on the ice so far this season doesn't appear to be that same team. They've shown lackluster skating and a poor defense that seems out of touch. Still, this non-conference matchup on Friday could give them a chance to shine and exploit some of the holes the Kings have been showing on defense. The Kings are on a long road trip that is undoubtedly straining the offense, and the Rangers are going to be ready to take advantage of that. They'll take more shots on goal than their average, and this is going to pay off by the end of the third period. Our betting prediction for New York Rangers vs. Los Angeles Kings: The New York Rangers to win.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
