The New York Rangers are moving the needle for bettors as the NHL Playoffs begin.

While the Colorado Avalanche still remain the favorite to win the Stanley Cup, there’s been a lot of action on the Blueshirts as of late.

According to BetRivers, the Avs are at +285 with the Florida Panthers second at +550. Colorado opened the season +600 at BetMGM, but improved +325 at the start of the postseason.

The New York Rangers opened the year as a long shot at +2500 but are now at +1600 to commence playoff action, which begins for them tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

In an article at The Daily Goal Horn, the Rangers lead with 30.9% of the handle to win the Eastern Conference despite being at +800 odds. The Presidents Trophy winning Panthers are at 20.9% with a +250.

Additionally, BetRivers states that Rangers have 8.8% of the Stanley Cup winning handle.
