Welcome back to NHL Predictions with us here at Last Word On Hockey. For this edition, we turn our attention to the Tampa Bay Lightning on the road against the New York Rangers. Because this rematch of the opener matters…
The Tampa Bay Lightning visit the New York Rangers on October 13 at Madison Square Garden in an early-season rematch. Tampa Bay brings a four-game winning streak and a 4-1-0 record into the matchup, seeking revenge after falling 5-1 to New York in the season opener. Meanwhile, the Rangers sit at 5-2-0 and remain undefeated at home with a 4-0-0 record.
The Rangers are adjusting following a season-ending knee injury to star goaltender Igor Shesterkin, with Dylan Garand stepping into the starting role after a 6-2 victory over Vancouver. Writer Joe Rendace of Last Word On Hockey predicts a tight contest, ultimately projecting the Lightning to earn a 4-3 road win behind their offensive depth.
