Betting insights
- The Rangers snapped a five-game losing skid on Saturday. New York is now fourth in the Metropolitan while New Jersey has been steady all year and currently sits in second. Due to the Rangers’ recent struggles, the total in this game sits at 6.5, even though both teams sit inside the bottom seven for goals allowed.
- Toronto can reclaim first place in the Atlantic with a win over Chicago. The Blackhawks are 8-14-2 on the season and 4-8-2 away from home. The Leafs, on the other hand, are 10-3-0 at home. All of this contributes to Toronto being a wide -345 favourite.
- The night’s final game sees the Stars travelling to Utah to take on the Hockey Club. Dallas is 7-3 in its last 10 games and third in the Central. It’s coming off a big win over the Jets and looks to maintain momentum on the road. Utah is 10-10-4 and two spots behind Dallas in the division.
