Rangers vs Stars Prediction

The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as an underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rangers have looked really good this season with their 12-2-1 record overall and they have also looked great in their road games with their 7-1-1 road record. The Rangers are fighting to be one of the best teams in the East right now, but the Stars are also in a very similar spot in the West. The Stars have also looked really good this year with their 11-4-1 record overall but they have actually struggled more in their home games this year with their 4-3-0 home record, and this is a trend that goes back to last season too. The Stars were also leading the Avalanche 3-0 in their last game before blowing that lead on home ice to lose 6-3 while the Rangers are getting hot lately, coming off another road win in their last game. Both of these teams have been great this season but the value in this game is with the Rangers considering their road record and how they have been better in their games lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.

Notable Quotes


“I know that it’s not always 60 minutes of domination, but no game ever is. I liked the way that we’ve come out and played and the way we attack teams at the start. I liked the fact that we’ve had to fight back in some third periods — we stayed with it. Guys are working hard to win.” - Peter Laviolette after his team’s win against the Devils in their game on Saturday.


“I felt like they turned it up a notch in the third. We let them hang around for too long. Those guys know how to win. They turned it on and found a way.” - Jamie Benn after their loss against the Avalanche in their game on Saturday.
