NHL Wagering Online – Maple Leafs at Rangers Tips to Win. The New York Rangers are favored on Wednesday in NHL wagering online as they host the Toronto Maple Leafs. New York has not been a great home team this season so they could be overvalued in this game. Gamblers making an NHL bet at Sbgglobal are taking a look at the underdog Leafs in this contest.
Rangers Only 11-12 at Home
If the Rangers could find a way to win at home they might just win the Atlantic Division. New York has been excellent on the road but at home they are actually below .500. The Rangers are just not scoring enough goals to win consistently at home. They are 15th in the league in goals per game. Part of the problem is Marian Gaborik who is in an eight-game scoring slump. Head coach John Tortorella benched him in Sunday’s 3-2 loss to the Flyers. Tortorella has said that the top scorers on the Rangers need to start producing. New York is sixth best on defense so if they could get Gaborik going they would be in good shape.
Leafs 9-12 on the Road
Toronto has been competitive on the road this season with nine wins. They will be starting goaltender Jonas Gustavsson on Wednesday. They will also be getting back winger Kris Versteeg, who sat the past two games with an upper-body injury. Getting Versteeg back is important as he is tied for fourth in team scoring with Phil Kessel at 31 points. The Leafs lost both games he missed.
