The New York Rangers hit the ice for their second-straight afternoon game for an Original Six matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. It is the second and final matchup of the season, and the Rangers will be looking to even the score after a 2-1 Blackhawks win in December. We are here with our Rangers vs. Blackhawks predictions to help settle the score.

New York is coming off a big 7-4 loss, and have lost 5 of their last 6 games. However, Chicago has also lost 5 of their last 6 games, and are a much weaker team than New York. The Rangers were expected to contend for the Stanley Cup this season, but even though they have traded some pieces, they are still stacked with big-name players throughout. Chicago meanwhile is led by young superstar Connor Bedard, with a cast of players who aren’t necessarily those elite level talents. New York is desperate for wins as they still have an outside chance at making the playoffs, so facing a team who currently sits last in the NHL, is a matchup they need to win. For our Rangers vs. Blackhawks prediction, take the Rangers on the money line.
