| Saturday NHL Preview: Boston vs. New York |
For the latest NHL betting odds and hocey betting action, check out Bet Phoenix, the best hockey betting sportsbook. This is the first of four meetings between the Eastern Conference titans. The Rangers won three of four games last season, including both trips to Boston. It's taken nearly four months, but the arguably the two best teams in the NHL get to square off. The Rangers and Bruins are mirror images, with both teams playing a tough, defensive style that's anchored by top-notch goaltenders. Both teams can roll four lines and have six capable defensemen. The edge could rest in Boston's offense, which ranks No. 1 in the in the NHL; the Rangers rank 11th. After tearing through November and December, looking like a team that could only be beaten by a goalie playing out of his mind, the Bruins have leveled off a bit. They are 4-3-0 in their last seven, but they made a big statement Thursday night in New Jersey. Down a goal to the Devils entering the third period, Boston ripped off three quick goals to emerge with a 3-1 victory. Andrew Ference, Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell scored in succession to send the Bruins into their showdown with the Rangers on a high note. They know things won't get any easier against the Rangers. On the other end of the spectrum, the Rangers let one get away against the Penguins on Thursday night. They entered the third period tied, but two goals from Evgeni Malkin and one from Richard Park -- the winner -- sunk the Rangers 4-1. It marked the sixth straight game the Rangers have alternated wins and losses. If the pattern holds, the Rangers will win in Boston on Saturday afternoon. But it's going to take a more complete effort than the one they had against the Penguins. The game against the Pens could have easily been a look ahead to this big clash against the defending champions.
