NHL Odds: East Contenders Clash as Bruins Host Rangers

The Boston Bruins will host the New York Rangers this Saturday, giving fans of the NHL betting board an opportunity to play a pair of Original Six teams in a midseason matinee. As the reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Bruins are a fitting matchup against the Eastern Conference-leading Blue Shirts.

Get your NHL odds for this matchup at Bovada.

Think you know how it will all unfold? Not so fast. Although the Bruins sit a step back of the Rangers in the standings (if you could even call it that), they have the advantage in the minds of NHL odds makers.

According to Bovada the Bruins have 11/2 odds of winning the Stanley Cup. The Rangers, as dominant as they've been, sit tied for third place on that same list with 9/1.

Expect big things out of both clubs as they jockey for position in not only their divisions (they each lead), but for the conference. Though it looks as though they won?t be challenged by a Southeast Division foe for playoff seeding, every game counts in terms of securing the all-treasured No. 1 seed.

Is Boston's reign at the top coming to an end this season? Or will Brad Richards and the Rangers have to wait at least one more year before taking over the conference.

Hit the ice.

NHL Odds: Road-Weary Capitals Face New-Look Canadiens

The Eastern Conference standings are slowly starting to broaden, and teams like the Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens may find themselves on the outside looking in if they don?t start putting up some extended winning streaks.

Get your NHL Stanley Cup futures at Bovada.

The two forlorn franchises will meet for the first of four times this season on Wednesday night in Montreal, where the newest Canadien, Rene Bourque, will face the Capitals for the first time since giving Nicklas Backstrom a concussion on Jan. 3. Vigilante justice may be in order.

The Canadiens? woes have been well documented. From the hiring of Randy Cunneyworth to the abysmal power play to the Mike Cammalleri trade last week, the team is ripe for the pickings right now.

Meanwhile, the Capitals are in the middle of a 10 games in 18 days stretch leading up to the All-Star break, so they may not be at full strength for the game.

They've had a decent run as of late, but hardly anything that will guarantee they play beyond mid-April. Now is the time for Alex Ovechkin to break out and earn the All-Star nod he garnered.

Think you know how it will go down? Weigh in at Bovada now.
