Blue Jackets vs. Rangers

Our committee identifies a significant mispricing of the Rangers as home underdogs (+104), as the return of a healthy Igor Shesterkin—who demonstrated elite form with 31 saves in his February 28 victory—provides a defensive ceiling the market has yet to fully adjust for. While Columbus features a high-volume offense led by Zach Werenski, they enter on a two-game skid and have struggled with implementation since the break, making them vulnerable to the Rangers' superior neutral-zone structure.
