Two of the hottest teams in the NHL will square off for the second and final time during the regular season. Since the start of December, the Rangers are tied for the fourth-best points percentage of.750, with the Stars eighth at.684. Both teams have connected on more than 25% of their power-play chances during that time. The Stars are 6-3-1 over…

NEW YORK - Halfway through the 2022-23 season, the Rangers had already received seven loser points - also known as the one-point consolation prize for teams that fall short in overtime or shootouts. Those skill competitions have not been particularly kind to them, but the odds began to even out Tuesday. Kaapo Kakko and Artemi Panarin both netted…

New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers 1/1/2023 Picks Predictions Previews The New York Rangers will go against the Florida Panthers in NHL action in FLA Live Arena, FL, on Sunday, January 1, 2023, at 5:00 PM ET. Despite averaging 3.14 goals per game during the whole season, the Rangers' offense suddenly deteriorated, scoring just one goal in their…

It's been a tough few years if you're a sports bettor who likes to take big swings on Stanley Cup futures bets. The 2019-20 Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup after sitting among the top pre-season favorites following a season in which they'd tied an NHL record with 62 wins. The 2020-21 Lightning were obviously favorites again, coming off the…

New York's quietly reeled in the Devils and is just a point back ahead of their meeting today. The Rangers are riding high but one thing is for sure - there are going to be plenty of goals in New Jersey today. The New York Rangers have quietly caught up to the New Jersey Devils in the Metropolitan Division standings, sitting one point back of their…

It's not too often a player 21 games into the first season of a three-year contract extension becomes a virtual lock to be traded. But here we are with right winger Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks. It's natural to view last weekend's drama as a catalyst and the reason why Boeser and agent Ben Hankinson have been granted permission by the…

The term "crazy" is defined as doing the same activity and expecting a different result. It could be declared crazy that the management of the New York Rangers' power play has not been altered. The fivesome of Mika Zibanejad, Adam Fox, Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck, and Chris Kreider is typically present on the ice for the full duration of the…

Neither the Capitals nor the Rangers were clicking on all cylinders earlier in the season. However, in December, they are fourth and fifth, respectively, in points percentage in the NHL. New York is third and the Capitals eighth in goals scored per game during that stretch. The Rangers are hot offensively despite averaging less than 30 shots on…

The New York Rangers head to PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday night amid a current seven-game win streak and underdogs on NHL odds. New York (18-10-5) has used a scorching offense and a nearly impenetrable defense on this recent run. Still, the Pittsburgh Penguins (18-9-4) know a thing or two about stacking wins together, as they just had their…

It sounds more like the name of a movie or a book - Waiting for Godot, Waiting for Guffman, Waiting to Begin - but for now, it remains central to this impressive, fascinating and oddly puzzling Blue Jays season. The Jays have found themselves in the standings right about where they were expected to be - among the best teams in baseball. And they've…

The New York Rangers host the Toronto Maple Leafs at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.

John Tavares continues to be one of Toronto's best goal-scoring threats, while Vincent Trocheck is a good…

The Toronto Maple Leafs look to extend their streak without a regulation loss to 16 games. Toronto is 12-0-3 over the last 15 games with the 1.87 goals-against average the best in the league during that stretch.

Coming back from a 3-1 road trip, the Vegas Golden Knights (19-7-1) will be seeking to rediscover their home-ice mojo against a struggling New York Rangers (12-10-5) club. Launching a quick two-game Western swing, the Rangers are currently in the midst of a 2-4-1 skid. But they are 3-1-1 in their past five road games. Vegas lost two in a row at…

The 2021/22 NHL regular season has been completed and we head to round two of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

It's time to continue our NHL odds series with…

The Florida Panthers will be making their first appearance on national television this season Wednesday night but Brandon Montour says he did not know anything about it. Coach Andrew Brunette says his team has bigger things on their mind than making their TNT debut. The Carolina Hurricanes have not only played four games while the Panthers were…

Find out why the Pens are part of our best bets for the 2022-23 NHL season. Ahhhh, we did it, folks. Hockey is officially back! It feels so good to be talking about the NHL again after…

1. Mike Sullivan betrayed a weakness when he allowed himself to be distracted by heckling fans. A losing streak will do that to a losing coach. 2. Suggestions that the Maple Leafs' high command should dump Sheldon Keefe are dumb and dumber. (See Damien Cox below.) 3. Big money dulls motivation. Exhibit A: Jonathan Huberdeau's meh efforts in…

The Flyers are off to a hot start and have done a great job at mitigating opponent scoring. This has less to do with strong defense and more with the play of Carter Hart. He may not gift Philly a win against the Rangers, but scoring won't be robust. Photo By - USA TODAY Sports The New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers are set for their first…

Two of the top teams in the NHL are set to collide tonight from Madison Square Garden, with the New York Rangers playing host to the Colorado Avalanche.

Let's jump in as we look at four more teams who begin their season on Tuesday night. Two might wind up facing each other in the East again. The other two are Pacific…

The Tampa Bay Lightning are slight -104 moneyline favorites to beat the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 of their second round NHL Playoff series, but there is plenty of value in betting the Hurricanes. Game 1 was evenly played, and Carolina outshot Tampa Bay 38-30. The Hurricanes controlled play early in the game. Don't forget that the Hurricanes…

Today is the day! The New York Rangers open the 2022-23 NHL Season at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning. A rematch against the team that ousted them in six games at the Eastern Conference Final to leave a very bad taste in their mouths. It did something else too, made them hungry to not only get back there but win the Stanley Cup. "The hole in…

The Rangers enter the season facing the kind of great expectations that haven't loomed over the franchise in years. That will be an obstacle in itself, but one that can be overcome with a strong team mentality, which was a trait the Rangers showed no shortness of during their second-place finish in the Metropolitan Division and run to the Eastern…

After a shorter-than-usual offseason thanks to a deep playoff run, the New York Rangers are set to begin another season of pain excitement, promise, and hope. In preparation for the 2022-23 campaign, I tossed some questions over to some of our Blueshirt Banter staff. Their answers (and mine) are below. Time for some predictions! Tom D.: No, but…

BRANDON - They have been dressed and ready to go for three years. Skates sharpened, sticks taped, beards grown. They have sweated in the preseason, bled in the regular season and dreamed of the postseason. And yet, when the lights dimmed, the music swelled and the puck dropped for the Stanley Cup finals, the Maple Leafs may as well have had their…

Published every Wednesday, we will take stock of all 32 teams and move them up and down as the season progresses based on their weekly performance. The reason? To ascertain a clear hierarchy of teams by the conclusion of the season, and also because lists are fun. (Scroll to the very bottom to see your favorite team). Last season, 15 of the top 16…

The Carolina Hurricanes have three preseason games in the books in their exhibition schedule. So, how many important things have we learned that will play a massive role in this team's success throughout the regular season and the playoffs? Well... none. These are practice games, and we haven't seen any teams at full strength. But that doesn't mean…

The 2022-23 NHL season is quickly approaching! The preseason is well underway and we're less than 10 days from NHL opening night! We previewed the Atlantic Division on Monday, and the Central Division on Tuesday. We're halfway through and conclude the two Eastern Conference divisions with the Metropolitan Division. We'll be going alphabetically…

The Pittsburgh Penguins (30-13-8) had to rally to beat the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday but were mistake-filled in their 4-1 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday. The Penguins game has been unsteady, and the loss on Thursday exposed flaws. The Penguins will have the best motivation to get their game together as first place is on the line…

Patrice Bergeron is the Bruins' captain. He stands among the franchise's all-time greats. He is the NHL's best defensive forward ever, as his record-setting fistful of Selke Trophies confirms. He is a difference-maker by every measure. Bergeron's decision to return, then, touches the organization in ways that few individuals can. Consider his…
