Canucks vs Rangers Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NHL

Two of the top four teams in the NHL are set to collide at Madison Square Garden when the New York Rangers host the Vancouver Canucks. NHL odds have the home side favored with a total of 6.5.

Artemi Panarin has been on fire for New York with points in seven straight and he'll look to pad his stats against a struggling Thatcher Demko. His recent play has created some good value, which is why I'll be taking a look at his NHL player props.

How am I betting on Panarin tonight? I’ll discuss in my free NHL picks for the Canucks vs Rangers on Monday, January 8.

Canucks vs Rangers predictions

The New York Rangers fell 4-3 to the Canadiens in a shootout in their last game on Saturday but it wasn’t for lack of effort from their leading scorer, Artemi Panarin, who had a goal and an assist to record his second straight multi-point outing.

Panarin skates into Monday with multiple points in four of his last six contests and 11 total points since Christmas, tied for third-most in the league over that span.

Panarin and the Rangers will look to solve Vancouver Canucks netminder Thatcher Demko, who’s hit a bit of a rough patch over the last month. Demko earned the win against New Jersey on Saturday but gave up four goals in the process while posting a sub-par .840 SV%.

The Canucks goaltender has allowed at least three goals in nine of his last 12 starts going back to November 30, posting a mediocre .901 SV% and 3.08 GAA over that span — a significant fall off compared to the .928 SV% and 2.10 GAA he owned through the first two months of the season. 

The Rangers offense comes into this matchup in good form, averaging 3.67 goals per game over their last nine outings, and should be able to keep that trend going against a struggling Demko. With Panarin leading the charge, I’ll look for the Rangers star to hit the Over on 1.5 points tonight as my best bet.

My best bet: Artemi Panarin Over 1.5 points (+140 at SIA)

I can't lock in a multi-point game for Panarin in the same-game parlay, so I’ll look for him to score a goal instead. Panarin has a goal in two straight and has scored in seven of his last nine contests — racking up an impressive nine total tallies over that span.

The Rangers are 7-3-1 over their last 11 contests with five of those Games featuring at least seven total goals. Meanwhile, the Canucks have seen 7+ goals scored in five of their last seven outings.

Canucks vs Rangers moneyline and Over/Under analysis

The Rangers skate into tonight’s contest as the home favorite at -145 on the moneyline with the total set at 6.5 goals. Given New York’s advantage between the pipes, I like the hosts to take two points while cashing the Over in this matchup.

Normally I’d be talking about an elite goaltending matchup between Igor Shesterkin and Demko, but neither netminder has performed to their full potential this season.

Fortunately for the Rangers, Shesterkin has turned things around since mid-December, posting an excellent .924 SV% and 2.12 GAA over his last seven Games after battling through some early-season inconsistency. While Demko has allowed 20 goals over his last six starts, Shesterkin has held opponents to two goals or fewer in five of his last seven outings, which should give the Rangers an edge tonight.

Both teams have been playing high-scoring duels of late with New York cashing the Over in seven of its last nine contests and Vancouver doing so in six of its last eight.

Over 3,000 migrants have hit NYC shelter time limit, report says

About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay NEW YORK -- About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay, according to a newspaper report. The United States' most populous city has struggled to contend with the arrival of over 120,000 asylum-seekers in the past year. About 60,000 are currently in shelter s run by the city, which is legally required to provide emergency housing to homeless people. The obligation is unmatched in any other major U.S. city. Mayor Eric Adams announced in July that New York would start giving adult migrants 60 days' notice to move out of city shelter s. The policy has since been extended to families with children, and tightened to 30 days for adults not accompanied by youngsters. Migrants, many of whom don't have legal authorization to work, can reapply for shelter if they can't find...

VIDEO: Crashed UFO Or Military Machine? UFO Crash Near Laredo, Texas 1948

Image
Texas Monthly magazine recently included the Laredo UFO Crash on a list of the eight most significant UFO cases in Texas History .Interestingly, this case is said to have occurred almost exactly one year after the more famous Roswell UFO Incident. Rumors about this case first began circulating in the 1950s, although details were not widely known until 1977. This case shares similarities with the Del Rio, Texas UFO Crash of 1955 and the Coyame UFO Incident of 1974, both of which reportedly also occurred along the Texas-Mexico border. According to Texas Monthly, talk of a UFO crash near Laredo first surfaced in the 1950s[2] , with additional details being released in 1978 by the late Leonard Stringfield, one of the first UFO researchers to advocate serious investigation of reported UFO crashes. Stringfield wrote, “In the Fall of 1977, new word of a 1948 crash came to me from a well-informed Military source. His information, however, was scanty. ...
