The New York Rangers face the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final on May 26, 2024, with the Rangers as underdogs at +130 and the Panthers as favorites at -155. This series is tied 1-1 heading into this pivotal Game 3 from the Sunshine State. Early betting trends see 17% backing the Rangers and 83% favoring the Panthers. The over/under is set at 5.5, with 58% of bets on the over and 42% on the under. This matchup promises to be an exciting showdown between two competitive teams vying for a crucial win.

Each team won a game in New York during the first two games of this series. That makes today's Rangers vs Panthers Game 3 matchup all the more important, as the winner will gain the upper hand moving forward in the series. Either the Rangers will steal home-ice advantage back with a win on the road, or the Panthers will maintain the home-ice advantage they stole from New York by winning Game 1 of the series at Madison Square Garden.

Which of those outcomes do we expect to play out in Florida on Sunday? We expect the Panthers to come away with a win at home to take a 2-1 series lead. The Panthers are 4-2 at home so far this postseason, going 3-0 there against the Tampa Bay Lightning before going 1-2 in the next round against the Boston Bruins. And with Florida largely outplaying the Rangers so far in this series, outscoring them by a combined 4-2 over the first two games in New York, we should see Florida assert their dominance in this pivotal matchup.

Bettors should note that the Rangers have been great on the road so far in this postseason. They have gone 4-1 in road games over the first two rounds of this postseason, sweeping the Washington Capitals on the road before going 2-1 in Raleigh against the Carolina Hurricanes. But the Panthers are a much tougher matchup than either of those teams, which should aid the Panthers in their goal of taking the lead in this series back for a second time.
