Rangers have a big opportunity ahead of them.
After winning back-to-back overtime games, the Blueshirts can take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Florida Panthers with a win in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday night.
The betting market is skeptical of the Rangers’ chances of winning on Tuesday (+142 on DraftKings), but that’s nothing new for this team.
The Rangers are 3-1 in playoff games that finished with a margin of +130 or higher.
It’s no surprise that the betting markets are favoring the Panthers, especially after the Rangers snatched a win despite losing Game 3, but it also represents an opportunity for bettors willing to bet on a team that can win in such a situation.
The Rangers are now 4-0 in overtime games in the postseason and 6-1 in games decided by one run. That might seem unsustainable for most teams, but the Blueshirts are no ordinary team.
They have a world-class goalkeeper in Igor Shesterkin who can withstand an onslaught, and a squad full of game-breakers who can create those magical moments and secure victory.

Regardless of what the betting markets say, this formula has proven to work for the Blueshirts.
The Panthers played well in Game 3, but made too many mistakes against a team that was eating them up.
Do you bet on the NHL?
There’s no guarantee Game 4 will play out in a similar way, but you can bet the Blueshirts will hang in there even if the ice looks against them all night.
Play: Rangers +135 and above
