JT Miller ranks fifth in the NHL in 5-on-5 chances over the past 10 games. He'll have plenty of chances to shoot against a poor Vancouver Canucks defense.

The New York Rangers (68%) are 5-1 against Bottom-10 defenses and have averaged a healthy 4.2 goals per game.

My Rangers vs. Canucks prediction banks on J.T. Miller playing a big role in New York's offense to keep it humming in Vancouver.

Let's take a closer look at my NHL picks for Friday, Nov. 13.

Rangers vs Canucks prediction: Rangers -1.5

I’m on the New York Rangers puck line to 48%.

The Vancouver Canucks are mired in a six-game slump and have posted disastrous underlying numbers, ranking ahead of only the Blackhawks in goals share (34.2%) and xGoals (40.4%).

New York is on the opposite end of the spectrum during the same time frame, controlling 57.4% of the xGoals — good for second in the NHL.

The Rangers are 5-1 against Bottom-10 defenses with an average goal differential of +1.7. Another convincing win should be expected tonight.

Rangers vs Canucks combo

I am looking for J.T. Miller and Adam Fox to have strong offensive showings and help the Rangers win by margin.

Miller sits second on the Rangers in shot attempts over the past 10. He’s shooting more at 5-on-5 and skates on the top power play, giving him ample opportunity to put a couple of pucks on net.

Fox is tied for fourth among defensemen in assists, averaging exactly one per game. He picked up a helper in 10 of New York’s 11 wins, and we’re backing the Rangers to win by a couple of pucks tonight.

Rangers vs Canucks combo

  • New York Rangers -1.5
  • J.T. Miller Over 1.5 shots
  • Adam Fox Over 0.5 assists

 TOP PICK
Rangers vs Canucks player prop: J.T. Miller Over 1.5 shots

Playable to 62%.

Miller has taken on much more of a shooting mentality of late. He attempted at least four shots in 11 consecutive games after doing so in just two of his first nine appearances.

He averaged 2.6 shots on 5.1 attempts over the past 10, and took more shots than all but Pavel Dorofeyev during that span.

The volume should remain strong against the Canucks. They are 31st in shot suppression and, of course, are Miller’s former team.

He recorded multiple shots in three of four games vs. Vancouver since the trade.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Miller ranks sixth among NHL forwards in 5-on-5 scoring chances over the past 10 games. He's not just shooting more — he's shooting more from dangerous spots.

Rangers vs Canucks goal scorer: Alexis Lafreniere

Alexis Lafreniere is a goal target to 36%.

He lives around the paint and takes a ton of his shots from high-danger areas, which is why he’s 0.2 xG behind Dorofeyev for the team lead despite noticeably less volume. 

His proximity to the net, combined with strong finishing ability, has led to a conversion rate above 20%.

The Canucks sit 31st in team save percentage and are unlikely to get stops on Grade A looks Lafreniere consistently generates.
