Adam Fox is one of the best offensive defensemen in the sport. Despite the down year for New York, he is once again producing at a 70+ point pace over a full schedule.
My Penguins vs. Rangers predictions see Fox playing a key role offensively in this Metro Division battle.
Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Saturday, February 28.
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.
