The New York Rangers are going to get the benefit of the doubt more times than not, especially at home, and they’re the clear better team here. However, let’s not act like the Rangers are playing well at the moment, and it’s not like the Philadelphia Flyers are playing poorly. This line is a bit surprising given the form of both clubs. The Flyers have also had success in New York over the years. I’ll take a shot to make nearly 2 times my money.
