Betting on the Bruins Shortening Odds

The Boston Bruins opened up the 2022-23 season with +2200 future odds at online NHL sportsbooks but currently hold the number one spot in the Atlantic Division. Their odds have shortened to +700 and have the second-best Stanley Cup odds in the league and are the favorite with +425 odds to win the Eastern Conference.

David Pastrnak has led the Bruins with 25 total points on the season, including nine goals but has still not been the biggest contributor to the team’s success. Linus Ullmark has played 13 games for Boston in 2022-23 and currently holds the league’s best save percentage at .936.

Betting on the Rangers' Growing Odds

Starting with a win at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Rangers proceeded to win three for their first four games and their odds stuck around +1200 for the Stanley Cup at online sportsbooks. After losing four straight games at the end of October and three straight games during the beginning of November, the Rangers' odds have lengthened to +2200.

During this losing period, the Rangers were dealing with injuries including Filip Chytil but should bounce back to their 2021-22 regular season form that won 52 games and scored 110 points on the season. As they were one of the top favorites at the start of the season, there is value in the Rangers' long odds before they potentially shorten, with Igor Shesterkin being one of the most dominant goalies in the game with the second-best save percentage of .915 in 2022-23.
