Odds as of Mar. 21st at Barstool Sportsbook
New York online sports betting apps lists the Rangers at +148 odds on the puckline, while the Devils are -180 to keep the game within two goals. New York’s -167 moneyline price gives them a 62.5% implied probability to win.
Rangers Listed as Road Favorites in Tuesday NHL Odds
The Rangers are heavy road favorites against the Devils in the Tuesday NHL odds. New York has played very well away from home this season, posting a 20-12-2 road record. Furthermore, the Rangers just beat Carolina and Tampa Bay in back-to-back road contests.
New York has also been very profitable when they are favored in the NHL odds. Gerard Gallant’s team is 25-5 as the betting favorite in 2021-22. This is a sign that they don’t play down to inferior competition, which is relevant with Tuesday’s opponent.

The Rangers are sitting near the top of the Eastern Conference standings primarily due to one player. Goalie Igor Shesterkin is the favorite in the Vezina Trophy odds with a 30-8-5 record and .938 save percentage. Shesterkin is Tuesday’s projected starting NHL goalie.
New York has struggled with depth scoring this season, which is something the team addressed at Monday’s NHL Trade Deadline. The Rangers acquired Justin Braun, Andrew Copp, Tyler Motte, and Frank Vatrano in four separate deals this week.
Do Devils Offer Home Underdog Value vs Rangers?
The Devils are +135 home underdogs in the Tuesday NHL odds, which means they have a 44.4% implied probability to beat the Rangers. New Jersey has been an average home team in 2021-22, posting a 14-14-3 record at Prudential Center.
The Devils have been underdogs in the majority of their games this season, and they haven’t been profitable. New Jersey is only 12-29 as a betting underdog this season. Lindy Ruff’s team is returning home after a three-game road trip in which they lost each game by a 6-3 score.
New Jersey is sitting at the bottom of the Metro in the NHL Divisional odds due to a myriad of issues. Goaltending and defense are the biggest concerns, as the Devils rank fourth-last in the NHL in GAA (3.58). Jon Gillies (3-10-1, .887 SV%) is Tuesday’s projected starting goalie.
Another thing impacting the Devils’ betting value right now is injuries. New Jersey is currently without starting goalie Mackenzie Blackwood, plus forwards Jimmy Vesey, Miles Wood, and Pavel Zacha.
New Jersey didn’t make a major splash at the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline, but they did acquire goaltender Andrew Hammond from Montreal. The 34-year-old is a career minor leaguer who wouldn’t give the Devils a huge boost if he were to start vs Rangers’ Shesterkin.
Rangers vs Devils Pick & Prediction
The Rangers vs Devils odds paint a picture of two teams trending in different directions. New York has won back-to-back games against elite competition, while New Jersey has lost three straight in embarrassing fashion. This means the betting line should shift in favor of NYR.
These two teams played once already this season, with the Rangers winning 3-1 at Madison Square Garden earlier this month. New York has actually won eight straight contests against the Devils. It’s hard to envision that trend coming to an end Tuesday.

When betting the Rangers as road favorites, it’s best to get goalie confirmation. Shesterkin is so valuable he needs be in goal to warrant the heavy juice. While nothing is official yet, it’s very likely Shesterkin starts as backup Alex Georgiev played last game.
Here are some betting trends to note for Rangers vs Devils:
- Rangers are 40-13 in their last 53 games as a favorite
- Devils are 20-46 in their last 66 games as a home underdog
- Rangers are 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in New Jersey
The goalie mismatch and New York’s trade deadline acquisitions make the Rangers worth a moneyline bet in the Tuesday NHL odds. Look for the new faces to make an impact while Shesterkin stands tall to power his team to another road win.
Take the Rangers moneyline at -167 in the Rangers vs Devils odds at Barstool Sportsbook before the value starts to disappear.
