How To Bet On NY Rangers

The Rangers remain one of the NHL’s most popular yet championship-starved franchises. Their last Stanley Cup came in 1994, snapping a 54-year drought. With stars like Adam Fox, Artemi Panarin and Igor Shesterkin leading a talented young core, hopes are high that New York can capture its first title since Mark Messier’s iconic leadership delivered the 1994 championship.

After reaching the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals behind MVP-caliber seasons from Shesterkin and Fox, the Rangers appear poised for more deep playoff runs. Chris Drury has reinvigorated the franchise as GM, while coach Gerard Gallant brings credibility. Still seeking an elusive fifth Cup, the Rangers enter the 2023-2024 season with ingredients for a potential special spring.

They almost always seem to earn a playoff spot, so you never know when the Rangers might finally turn it on at the right time.

The New York Rangers next game is important to keep track of, as this will help you monitor important divisional games which increase in magnitude as they jockey for positioning. Historically, the Rangers are often among the NHL’s more successful road teams, so that is something to always keep in mind when wagering on their games.

At home, New York’s Madison Square Garden is billed as the most famous arena in sports, and with its rich history as home to NHL and NBA champions, as well as the site of some of the most legendary title bouts in boxing history, it can prove to be an intimidating venue for a young player.

Regularly following the New York Rangers schedule is essential to maintaining a grasp on the team’s head-to-head play against potential playoff foes. Housed within the Metropolitan Division, the Rangers are often the benefactors of a relatively light divisional travel schedule. Both the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders are within driving distance, while the Philadelphia Flyers aren’t much further beyond those clubs.

It’s important to keep tabs on the next game, but the New York Rangers standings will show how they are doing in relation to the competition. Hockey people will put forth the argument that the Metropolitan Division is the toughest grouping in the NHL, although there also plenty of supporters for the Central Division in this debate. But when you get right down to it, the Metro certainly holds a distinct advantage at the most important time of the year.

Metropolitan teams won the Stanley Cup in 2017-18 (Washington Capitals) and 2016-17 and 2015-16 (Pittsburgh Penguins). The Rangers won the Presidents’ Trophy in 2014-15 and appeared in the Cup final as recently as 2013-14, while the New Jersey Devils were Cup finalists in 2011-12. Even the Carolina Hurricanes were Stanley Cup champions in 2005-06.
