Round 2 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs is over, and the New York Rangers and Florida Panthers will drop the puck on Game 1 of the Eastern Conference.
The Rangers are hosting the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 2022. There is a catch for the Rangers to play a team from Florida. Unlike 2015 and 2022, where New York played the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Rangers have to deal with the defending Eastern Conference Champion Florida Panthers.
Games 1 and 2 are in New York, and both teams are coming off several days of rest. That could play into the start of this game. Everyone expects this series to go the distance and be a bruising one.
Entering Game 1, New York is a -105 favorite on the money line because of the home-ice advantage.
However, the Panthers are -135 favourites to win the series.
Let’s break down the numbers thanks to BetAlytics.com.
