In 97 seasons as a franchise, the Rangers have made 62 playoff appearances. They have four Stanley Cup titles to their name, winning it all in 1928, 1933, 1940, and 1994. Going on 30 years without a title has Ranger fans hungry for a Stanley Cup in 2024.

Currently leading the Metropolitan division, New York seems primed for a deep playoff run. Along with Ranger fans, professional oddsmakers are expecting the Rangers to be right in the thick of things come playoff time.

With odds of +1200, New York currently has the sixth-best odds to win the Stanley Cup on DraftKings. The Edmonton Oilers have the best odds at +750. They are followed closely by the Florida Panthers (+800), Colorado Avalanche (+850), Boston Bruins (+850), and Carolina Hurricanes (+900).

When betting on Stanley Cup futures bets, keep in mind that odds can vary from sportsbook to sportsbook. For example, while the Rangers have odds of +1200 on DraftKings, their odds are a bit longer over on FanDuel, where they are +1100.

In addition, odds are subject to change throughout the course of the rest of the regular season and playoffs.

Artemi Panarin has been the best player on the ice for the Rangers this season. In his fifth season as a Ranger, the 32-year-old wingers is having a career year.

Through 52 games, Panarin has already matched his career best in goals with 32, which he set in his first season as a Ranger in 2019-2020. His 72 points on the year is fifth in the NHL, trailing only Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid, and David Pastrnak.

The Russian star is well on pace to reach the 90-point threshold for a third consecutive season, and could even push for 100 points. He had a career-best 96 points in the 2021-22 season.

Panarin leads the Rangers in goals, assists, points, power play assists, and shots on goal. Needless to say, if the Rangers want to bring New York its first Stanley Cup since 1994, he needs to continue putting up elite numbers.
