Rangers Gather Momentum on NHL Betting Line, Eye ECFs | IXGAMES
The New York Rangers and Washington Capitals have played each other about as evenly as anyone could ask so far in their second-round series, but the parity can’t last forever. After squeezing out of Game 5 with an overtime win, the Rangers will look to close the books on the Caps altogether in Game 6 and climb further up the NHL betting line. With contenders dropping off left, right and center this postseason, a lot can be said of the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed if they manage to hold on into at least the Eastern Conference Finals. We’ve already seen the NHL odds turned on their head with the elimination of the Western Conference’s top two seeds and the East’s No. 2 (Boston). Could the Capitals keep with the trend and send another favorite packing? According to Bovada’s NHL betting experts it’s not out of the question, but their odds of winning the Stanley Cup are steep at 16/1. In contrast, New York’s are 10/3. Though they’ll have home ice advantage in Game 6, and are more than capable of forcing (and winning) a decisive Game 7, you can imagine the Capitals will have to be at their best.
