Rangers vs. Canadiens Best Bets
Thursday, January 5, 2023 - 7:00PM ET
PICK: New York Rangers Team Total Over 3.5 (-120)
After beginning 2023 with 5-3 wins over Florida and Carolina, the New York Rangers visit the Montreal Canadiens tonight at Bell Centre.
The Rangers are currently 3rd in the Metropolitan division, 3 points behind the New Jersey Devils for 2nd place.
New York has the chance to continue their goal scoring trend tonight as they face a Habs team that is allowing 3.7 goals per game at home this season, which is 6th most in the league.
Montreal also allows 31 shots per game at home, which is 9th most. The Canadiens are also home after a 7 game road trip so they could be a little flat tonight.The Rangers are averaging 3.5 goals per game on the road this season, which is 8th most and they are averaging a 4th best, 34 shots per game.
The Rangers are also 8th in high danger scoring chances on the road in 5 on 5 situations. New York is led offensively by Artemi Panarin, who leads the team with 44 points and Mika Zibanajed, who leads the team with 19 goals.
New York has scored at least 4 goals in 4 of their last 5 road games and the Habs have allowed at least 4 goals in 4 of their last 5 home games.
I like this Ranger offense to get on the board early and often tonight, in what should be another win.
Bet New York Rangers Team Total Over 3.5 (-120) at BetMGM.
