An Original Six matchup between two Eastern Conference opponents will highlight this NHL Saturday schedule, and bettors are looking for the hockey betting edge between the pipes.
Will Carey Price finally carry the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup Final in 2012 after a series of playoff runs gone wrong? Perhaps this is the year that Henrik Lundqvist gets the support he needs to contend for his first league championship.
According to Bodog’s online sportsbook, the Rangers are favored in the longterm with 22/1 odds of winning the Stanley Cup - their current seven-game run certainly doesn’t hurt their chances. The Habs, on the other hand, sit lower on the list at 35/1.
If either hope to cash in on such lofty expectations, they’ll have to prove they deserve it and that starts this Saturday. Bet on the NHL today.
Through the first month and a half of the regular season, the Rangers have played the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers close in the Atlantic Division. The Habs, in contrast, have flirted with mediocrity in an unpredictable Northeast.
Though both would benefit from the extra points a Saturday night victory wold bring, only one can make it happen and you can bet that neither will be willing to cough up the opportunity to an historic rival.
What NHL team do you think will win?
