vs. , 7 p.m. ETThe New York Rangers have one of the best records in the NHL. They have won 12 of their past 14 games and earned at least a point in 13 of their past 15. You would never know it listening to them talk after their most recent win, a wild 5-4 overtime win in Florida that saw them lose a late two-goal lead only to win in overtime thanks to a hat trick.After the game a frustrated sounded off a little bit."Im still annoyed," Lundqvist said, . "We need to learn a le son here. "All season we have been finding ways to win, but the last game we found a way to lose, and we almost did it again. We need to smarten up."It certainly wasn't the best game the Rangers have played this season as they took too many penalties and allowed the Panthers to score two goals in the final three minutes of regulation, a stretch that was followed by the Panthers being awared a penalty shot that could have won the game. But those are still strong words from the starting goalie of a team that has been winning all season.It is, however, some confirmation for those that are questioning the Rangers Tucker Barnhart Jersey ' early season succe s and whether they can keep winning playing the way they have been. The Rangers remain a fascinating team this season not only because they're winning a ton of games, but also because of the way they're winning by giving up a lot of shots and relying heavily on the goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist.As I mentioned last week, a lot of their i sues when it comes to preventing shots has more to do with the fact that they have been blowing teams out and have held a two-goal lead for more minutes this season than any other team in the league, by a ma sive margin. When scores get that lopsided shot numbers tend to get distorted because the team with the lead goes into a shell and the team that's trailing goes into desperation mode and starts firing shots at the net from all over the ice.And while it's probably true that goaltending has been a major factor in their succe s this season, that's to be expected when your starting goalie is Henrik Lundqvist. If there is a goalie in the NHL that can elevate his team, it's him. On Monday they host a Predators team that has cooled off considerably over the past couple of weeks after starting the season with wins in six of their first seven games. Since that first start Nashville has won just five of its past 12 games and carries a two-game losing streak into New York on Monday having dropped back-to-back games to Columbus and Minnesota by a combined score of 8-0. Having been shut out in back-to-back games and then having to go on the road to face Lundqvist and the Rangers as part of a lengthy road trip is going to be a tough game. Pick: Rangers 4, Predators 2The rest of Monday's picks 3, 2 4, 2 5, 3 3, 1 2, 1 6, 4 Logan Allen Jersey
