Rangers at Devils: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 6:00 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Devils 4, Rangers 3

Moneyline (ML)

The DEVILS (-134) are the rested team going up against a Rangers team on the second half of a back-to-back. New York lost 3-2 to the Boston Bruins in overtime while New Jersey scored a 6-4 road win in Montreal Thanksgiving night. New Jersey will be able to generate enough offense to hold off the Rangers.

A $10 bet with New Jersey results in a $7.46 profit with an outright win for the Devils.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 9-15 against the spread which is second to last in the NHL. The Rangers have more than enough offense to keep New Jersey from connecting on the spread (-1.5, +195). AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+125) is worth a small play. The first clash between the two teams this year hit the Over. New York has seen the Over connect in its last six road games after a loss. New Jersey and New York both allow around 35 shots per 60 minutes and usually, that results in quality chances and eventually goals. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $12.50 profit with a total of seven or more goals scored.

New York Rangers at Boston Bruins odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s New York Rangers at Boston Bruins sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The New York Rangers (12-9-2) and Boston Bruins (17-3-5) will wake up early for a 1 p.m. ET puck drop at TD Garden Friday as they try to skate off some turkey. We analyze the Rangers at Bruins sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Rangers at Bruins: Projected starting goalies

Henrik Lundqvist vs. Tuukka Rask

Lundqvist is coming off his best outing of the season in which he stopped 41 of 43 shots faced for the home win over the Carolina Hurricanes. The veteran has a .914 save percentage and 3.17 goals against average to back his 7-5-1 record through 14 starts and a relief appearance.

Rask got the win in each of his last five starts and is now 12-2-2 on the year with a .931 SV% and 2.10 GAA. No goalie has more wins or shutouts (two). He stopped 33 of 34 shots faced his last time out against the Ottawa Senators.

Rangers at Bruins: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated Thursday at 8:40 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Bruins 4, Rangers 1

Moneyline (ML)

Bruins C Patrice Bergeron (lower body) is expected to remain out of the lineup. He hasn’t played since Nov. 23, with the Bruins winning two straight in his absence and five in a row overall coming into Friday. The Rangers are also on a season-best three-game winning streak, but each of those was decided by just a single goal.

The BRUINS (-278) are heavy favorites on home ice where they are 9-0-4 on the season. The Rangers are 4-5-0 on the road. Boston continues pacing the NHL with a league-best plus-31 goal differential with the offense, defense and goaltending deserving of equal credit. No team has scored more goals and only the Arizona Coyotes have allowed fewer. New York has a goal differential of minus-3.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The BRUINS (-1.5, +100) are a far more profitable play on the puck line where they’ll need to win by two or more goals for a $10 bet to turn a profit of $10.

Boston is 13-12 against the spread overall and 7-6 at home. New York is 15-8 ATS overall and 5-4 on the road. Both teams have equal rest after playing Wednesday.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 6.5 (-149). Rask has been one of the top goalies in the league this season and Lundqvist is beginning to show signs of his younger self. Both teams should be expected to come out a little sluggish with the early week-day start throwing them out of routine.

Esten’s NHL betting record: 86-75

Minnesota Wild at New York Rangers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Monday’s Minnesota Wild at New York Rangers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Minnesota Wild (9-11-3) travel to New York City to face the New York Rangers (10-9-2) at Madison Square Garden Monday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Rangers odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Wild at Rangers: Projected starting goalies

Alex Stalock vs. Henrik Lundqvist

Stalock has a 5-3-1 record for Minnesota with a 2.79 goals against average and .908 save percentage. After two very good wins, Stalock allowed five goals to the Boston Bruins Saturday.

Lundqvist has a 5-5-1 record with a 3.37 GAA and .909 save percentage. He allowed four-plus goals in four of his previous five starts.

Wild at Rangers: Odds, picks, and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Rangers 4, Wild 3

Moneyline (ML)

The RANGERS (+100) are offering plus money at home. Minnesota (-120) is one of the league’s worst teams on the road with a record of just 4-10-2. Even with the Rangers’ team defense the way it is, New York should be able to score enough goals to outlast the Wild.

A $10 bet with New York results in a $10 profit with an outright win for the Rangers.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Rangers are second in the league against the spread with a 13-8 mark and they are 8-4 at home. Minnesota has just enough of an offense to keep things close and that causes a good bit of hesitation. The +230 odds for the Wild to win by two or more goals is enticing, but we’ll AVOID this play as we expect the Rangers to win outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+125) is worth a tiny wager. It is not a strong bet by any means but this is a Rangers team that can allow four or five goals at home while scoring at the same rate. Needless to say, this game has no in-between. It is either a 2-1 dud or a 4-3 type of contest. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $12.50 profit with a total of seven or more goals scored.

New York Rangers at Ottawa Senators odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Friday’s New York Rangers at Ottawa Senators sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Ottawa Senators (10-11-1) host the New York Rangers (9-8-2) Friday at Canadian Tire Centre, with the puck dropping at 7:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Rangers-Senators sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Rangers at Senators: Projected starting goalies

Henrik Lundqvist vs. Craig Anderson

Lundqvist is 5-4-1 with a .910 save percentage and a 3.31 goals against average. His last outing was one of his most impressive of the season, as he stopped 30 of 31 shots in a 4-1 home win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday.

Anderson is 4-7-0 through 11 starts and two relief appearances. He sports a .901 SV% and 3.11 GAA. He stopped 35 of 36 shots in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. This will be his first home start since Oct. 27.

Rangers at Senators: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated Friday at 1 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Senators 4, Rangers 2

Moneyline (ML)

The SENATORS (-115) are slight favorites on home ice as winners of two straight. They have taken advantage of a favorable schedule of late to go 4-1 over their last five games and 6-2 over their last eight. Despite the 4-1 win over the Capitals on Wednesday, the Rangers are just 2-2 across their last four and lost their last two road games in Florida by a combined 13-6.

Ottawa is 6-4 on home ice while New York is 3-4 on the road. Side with the home team.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on Sens to win outright in regulation, overtime or a shootout returns a profit of $8.70.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

OTTAWA (-1.5, +220) is a more profitable play when laying a goal and needing to win by two or more tallies. New York is dealing with injuries to C Mika Zibanejad (upper body) and D Marc Staal (ankle). Sens LW Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body), C Artem Anisimov (groin) and D Erik Brannstrom (undisclosed) remain sidelined.

The Rangers are 12-7 ATS but a less-impressive 4-3 ATS on the road. The Sens are 12-10 overall and 6-4 at home. This is a rematch of a Nov. 4 game in New York, which the Sens won 6-2.

Over/Under (O/U)

The two games played between the teams this year have fallen to either side of Friday’s projected total of 6.5. Take the UNDER (-134) with injuries negatively affecting both sides.

The Rangers are 4-6 against the O/U across their last 10 games. The Senators are 3-7 over their last 10.

Esten’s NHL betting record: 64-63

Capitals-Rangers odds: Washington heavily favored in the Big Apple

Previewing Wednesday’s Washington Capitals at New York Rangers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Washington Capitals (16-3-4) visit the New York Rangers (8-8-2) Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. Puck drop is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. We analyze the Capitals-Rangers odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Capitals at Rangers: Projected starting goalies

Braden Holtby vs. Henrik Lundqvist

Holtby leads the league with 11 wins through 16 starts, while being hit with just one regulation loss and three overtime/shootout defeats. He has a .906 save percentage and 2.91 goals against average with both rates improving following a shaky start.

King Henrik is 4-4-1 through 10 starts and a relief appearance. The 37-year-old has a .905 SV% and 3.54 GAA. Both numbers are the worst of his career with his GAA more than a full goal above his career average.

Capitals at Rangers: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Capitals 4, Rangers 1

Moneyline (ML)

The CAPITALS (-189) about as safe as a choice as we see in hockey. An outright win in regulation, overtime or a shootout returns an adequate profit of $5.30 off of a $10 bet.

Washington leads the Metropolitan Division and is 10-1-1 away from home for the season. The Rangers are 5-4-2 at MSG, but they’re seventh in the division. The Capitals enter having won two straight games, most recently beating the Anaheim Ducks 5-2 Monday. The Rangers have lost back-to-back games, but they’ve been off since losing 4-3 to the Florida Panthers Saturday.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The wiser play is to put the same $10 bet toward the CAPITALS on the spread (-1.5, +135) with the same investment fetching a profit of $13.50. Washington is 15-8 on the puck line and an impressive 10-2 as the visitor. New York is 11-7 overall and 7-4 at home, but Lundqvist is severely outmatched by Holtby at this stage of his career.

The Rangers are tied for last in the NHL while being outshot by 6.8 shots on goal per game. The Capitals are just above neutral at plus-0.4 SOG/game, but they’re plus-0.78 goals per game.

New to sports betting? The Capitals will need to win by two or more goals for this bet to cash.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 6.5 (-120). The Capitals are 7-3 against the Over/Under across their last 10 games while the Rangers are 5-5 over the same stretch. New York shouldn’t be counted on for more than a goal or two against Holtby, while a four-goal output from Washington would leave this one short of the projected total.

Esten’s NHL betting record: 60-61

Rangers-Lightning odds: Tampa Bay favored at home

Previewing Thursday’s New York Rangers at Tampa Bay Lightning sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis and picks.

The Tampa Bay Lightning (8-5-2) entertain the New York Rangers (8-6-2) at Amalie Arena Thursday at 7:00 p.m. ET. We analyze the Rangers-Lightning odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Rangers at Lightning: Projected starting goalies

Alexandar Georgiev vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy

Georgiev has posted a 4-3-1 record so far with a 2.73 goals against average and .917 save percentage. He has won three of his previous four starts while yielding just four goals in those three wins.

Vasilevskiy is expected to get the nod Thursday night. He is 6-4 with a 3.01 GAA and .905 save percentage. Vasilevskiy looked better against Buffalo stopping 20 of 22 shots in the victory last Friday night.

Rangers at Lightning: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Lightning 5, Rangers 3

Moneyline (ML)

The LIGHTNING (-278) are the biggest favorites on the slate. A big reason is a familiarity that Tampa Bay has with New York have revenge on their minds after a 4-1 defeat to the Rangers at Madison Square Garden last month.

A $10 bet on Tampa Bay results in a $3.60 profit with a Lightning win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The LIGHTNING (-1.5, +100) is an even-money pick. Watch the value here as it could fluctuate a bit before game time. There are some hefty concerns as Tampa is 5-10 against the spread and New York is 10-6. However, Tampa Bay is 3-1-1 at home this year and has covered in two of its previous three home contests.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+105) is the big play Thursday night as it is still on the plus side. Tampa Bay has not seen its stars break out much this season. Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos both average over a point per game in their careers against the Rangers. New York is without Mika Zibanejad (upper-body injury) but Ryan Strome and Artemi Panarin have carried the offensive load. 

Betting $10 on the Over will result in a $10.50 profit if the two teams combine for seven or more goals.

Penguins-Rangers odds: NY Rangers slight dogs at MSG

Previewing Tuesday’s Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis and picks.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (10-6-1) travel to Manhattan to face the New York Rangers (7-6-2) at Madison Square Garden Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Penguins-Rangers odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Penguins at Rangers: Projected starting goalies

Matt Murray vs. Alexandar Georgiev

Murray has a 9-3-1 record so far with a 2.35 goals against average and .916 save percentage. He has won consecutive starts beyond regulation while stopping 49 of his last 54 shots faced.

Georgiev is confirmed to be in net after Henrik Lundqvist played Sunday. Georgiev is 3-3-1 with a 2.87 GAA and .913 save percentage. He seeks to bounce back tonight after getting shelled for six goals on 40 shots at home against the Ottawa Senators last Monday.

Penguins at Rangers: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Rangers 4, Penguins 3

Moneyline (ML)

The RANGERS (-106) are without C Mika Zibanejad (head) but Pittsburgh will be without C Sidney Crosby (lower body) for the next few games. That certainly levels the ice some. Also, New York not starting Lundqvist may be a benefit as Georgiev wants to show his last start was a fluke.

A $10 bet on New York results in a $9.43 profit with an outright win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Typically, when there is a very close moneyline, the spread is very divergent. If Pittsburgh was not the slightly favored team, there would be more enticement. However, that is not the case. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+120) is worth a tiny bet Tuesday night as both teams will yield some goals. Pittsburgh allows 3.14 goals per game on the road while New York allows 3.6 per contest at home. The Rangers could lure the Penguins into a more high-event game than they bargained for.
