Rangers vs. Devils NHL Picks | Total
The total goals line for tonight’s Rangers – Devils matchup predominantly sits at 5.5 at sportsbooks across the NHL betting market. The best odds bettors can find if looking to play over this number is the -115 price available at both PointsBet and William Hill. Under bettors should be very careful to shop the odds before making their NHL picks on this total. A shift in the line up to an even 6 makes BetMGM the preferred sportsbook to bet under 6 (-120).
Rangers vs. Devils NHL Betting Prediction
Both the Rangers and Devils rank near the very bottom of the NHL in total goals scored on the season. New York comes into tonight with just 53 goals on the season and a -1 differential. The Devils are even worse offensively with 46 goals scored and a -8 goal differential. Despite the track record of poor offense by both teams, each of the first two head-to-head matchups saw a total of 7 goals. That is a feat that doesn’t seem likely to repeat itself in tonight’s matchup. Playing under 6 total goals at BetMGM offers bettors a terrific NHL betting value opportunity.
