Blues vs Rangers Prediction

For those seeking a straight moneyline bet, the Rangers are the top choice. Nonetheless, with a payout of -238, you might want to use this bet as a part of a parlay to get better odds.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Blues to cover. Even in the event of a Rangers victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Blues should cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
