Leafs vs Rangers Betting Stats & Picks

Prediction

It should be a great regular season finale in the Garden tonight as both of these teams wrap up their excellent seasons and get ready to skate into the playoffs looking to hoist the Stanley Cup.

The Leafs finished the regular season 2nd in the Atlantic division and will play the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1st Round of the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row.

The series last season was incredible, going 7 games, seeing the Leafs fall in game 7 to the experienced Bolts.

Toronto will want to go into this series with as much momentum as possible.

That starts tonight against one of the best teams out of the Metro in one of the most famous hockey venues in the country.

The Rangers are gearing up for another deep playoff run, looking for just as much and hopefully more success than their Eastern conference finals appearance last season.

The Rangers finished 3rd in the Metropolitan division and it is looking likely the Rangers have a date with the New Jersey Devils in Round 1.

Both of these first round matchups will be must see tv, but tonight this game will have fireworks as well.

Both of these teams will come out hard and look to pick up as much momentum heading into the first round.

There are also plenty of players playing for season milestones, so there is more on the line than just a win or a loss.

Mika Zibanejad from the Rangers and William Nylander from the Leafs are both sitting on 39 goals and will be gunning for goal number 40 tonight.

More on them shortly 😉

In this game, I like the Rags to get the job done at home on Fan Appreciation night.

The Garden faithful will have plenty to cheer for the next month and that cheer will start tonight.

Player Prop of the Game

William Nylander o3.5 SOGs (+128) BetOnline

I wrote about this in my NHL Best Props Tonight piece so go give that a read for my favorites all over the league tonight.

As I mentioned before, Nylander is sitting on 39 goals and should come out firing tonight to bag his 40th goal.

He also has been playing great recently, with 4+ SOGs in 2 of his last 3 games, with a goal in those games as well.

For the value and the incentives associated, give me Nylander all day!

I also love his ATG for the awesome plus money value. Go get number 40 Willy!

Bonus: Nylander ATG (+155)
