Expert Betting Tips

We think it's a good idea to bet on the hosts to win. Even though it's back-to-back, the Rangers will do whatever it takes to get the points. On top of that, they're playing away against Philadelphia, so they'll have to save resources for the home match. While Montreal is in good shape, they won't be able to make a comeback. So, we think it's best not to overthink it and just go for a straightforward victory for the first team.
