The New York Rangers have seen their Eastern Conference lead disappear over the past several weeks as the team has struggled to win on the road. The Rangers have dropped their past six games away from Madison Square Garden and have not won a game in regulation on the road since November 7. The Rangers will visit the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night, which will be their fifth road game in their past six games.
- The Jets are 6-12 in their last 18 games.
- The UNDER is 10-5 in the last 15 meetings between the Jets and Rangers.
- The OVER is 4-1 in the Rangers past five games.
The top line of Mats Zuccarello, Derick Brassard and Rick Nash has exemplified the Rangers road struggles. The trio has combined for 53 points and a +24 rating at home, but just 21 points and minus-five on the road.
The Jets are expected to start 22-year-old backup Connor Hellebuyck. The American has played in six games this season and has posted a .924 save percentage and a 2.16 goals against average. The Jets offense has been flying high at the MTS Centre during December as Winnipeg has averaged 4.3 goals at home this month.
