Penguins vs Rangers prediction
Penguins vs Rangers best bet: Adam Fox Over 0.5 points (-115)
Injuries and the New York Rangers’ underwhelming play have obscured the fact Adam Fox has produced 28 points through 31 games.
Fox started slow but has hit the scoresheet in 10 of his last 15, including against high-end opponents like Tampa (x2), Carolina, and Colorado.
It’s par for the course with Fox, who has nine points over his past nine against Top-10 teams in goals allowed. That bodes well for his chances against the Pittsburgh Penguins (seventh-most goals against)

He also QBs the No. 1 power play, and New York is 3-for-7 on the man advantage against Pittsburgh this season.
Penguins vs Rangers same-game parlay
Fox has a strong shooting history against the Penguins, generating multiple shots in seven of the last nine head-to-head meetings.
Fox has averaged 5.1 attempts over his past 10 home games, taking 4+ in nine of them. He has 2+ shots on target in 69% of games this season when attempting four shots or more.
J.T. Miller is skating on the top line and shares the ice with Fox on the No. 1 power play unit, making him a strong correlation play.
