NHL Betting Friday – New York at Dallas. The Dallas Stars are favored in NHL betting on Friday as they host the New York Rangers. It will be a homecoming of sorts for New York’s Sean Avery since he will be playing in Dallas for the first time since the Rangers claimed him in 2009. Both the Rangers and Stars are playing well this season so this should be an interesting game to make an NHL bet on at Sbg global.
New York 13-8 on the Road
The Rangers have been one of the best road teams in the NHL this season even though they lost two of their last three games on the road. The Rangers are coming off a 2-1 overtime win at home on Wednesday against Carolina. Avery played well in that game and actually saw time on the same line with Marian Gaborik. New York is in the top 10 in both goals per game and fewest goals against so they are capable of winning any game.
Dallas 12-9 at Home
The Stars have almost the same record as New York. They don’t have quite as good overall statistics as New York but they are getting similar results. Dallas is coming off a nice win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks. The Stars won both games on their short two-game road trip as they beat Chicago and St. Louis. Now the Stars will try and get a home win over New York on Friday night.
