Florida Panthers vs. New York Rangers
Friday, May 24, 2024 – 08:00 PM ET at Madison Square Garden
Rangers to Even Series Before Road Trip
There was just something about the Florida Panthers in the first game, we had a hunch they would pull off the win despite being favorites on the road.
This time around we believe the N.Y. Rangers are the best bet on home ice, especially when we consider the fact that they are underdogs on home ice.
The Rangers are a tough team and won’t roll over so easily for Florida, and considering the Panthers won Game 1, New York will not be happy losing Game 2 on home ice and having to face a 0-2 series deficit knowing their next two games take place on the road.
If the N.Y. Rangers were favorites here, we would still like to bet them, but they are irresistible now knowing they are the underdogs on home ice with their moneyline odds coming in at -105, and the Florida Panthers are currently -120.
The Pick
New York ended the regular season as one of the most dominant teams on home ice having gone 30-11-0, whilst thus far into the playoffs they have won 4 of their 6 home games.
But they are looking for a big bounce-back spot here having lost their previous two home games.
