Today’s Best NHL Bets: Panthers vs. Rangers

Let’s look at a few of our best NHL bets for Monday’s slate of action.

Florida Panthers (+116) vs. New York Rangers (-140) | O/U 6.5 (-114/-106)

The Panthers are not having the season they expect after winning the Presidents’ Trophy last year. The offense is still good, with the fifth-best expected goals percentage, but not on top like last year. In the net, Sergei Bobrovsky has regressed this year and currently has -0.17 Wins Above Replacement.

The Rangers are an excellent team and could be a threat in the playoffs. They have some great offensive talent, with Mika Zibanejad possibly grabbing 40 goals this year and Artemi Panarin averaging over a point per game. Defensively they’re much stronger, allowing under 30 shots per game, and Igor Shesterkin has 14.4 goals saved above expected.

The Panthers’ offense will run into a tough matchup, and while the Rangers can score, they won’t do enough to help send this over seven goals. I like the Rangers grabbing the win, but the better value is in the under.

Pick: Under 6.5 (-106)
