Two of the Eastern Conference’s heavyweights tangle at Madison Square Garden when the New York Rangers host the Florida Panthers Monday evening. Despite an even 1-1 SU in two meetings so far this season, one side of this matchup has had the decided edge in recent contests.
- The Rangers are 21-9 SU in their last 30 home games.
- The Rangers are 1-4 SU in their last five games versus teams with a winning record.
- The Panthers are 19-7 SU in their last 26 games versus the Eastern Conference.
The Rangers are presently priced at -140 in moneyline markets at online shop Sportsbook while the Panthers are +110. The total is tabbed at 5 goals with OVER -130 and UNDER currently EVEN odds.
The Blueshirts have posted a record of 7-1 SU in the previous eight meetings with the Panthers, a run that dates back to to the 2013-14 season. The one Panthers win in in that span came on January 2 of this season when they won 3-0.
The Rangers have gone lukewarm of late and sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division entering Monday’s action. They’re returning home after a three-game California road trip that proved tough as they dropped games at the Los Angeles Kings and, most recently, the San Jose Sharks.
The Panthers remain on top of the Atlantic but are coming off a 5-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday. They’ve also struggled in sports where they have had one day off in between games, posting a record of just 2-5 SU the last seven times they’ve played in such situations.
