New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers Pick – 4/14/2025

The New York Rangers are set to face the Florida Panthers on April 14, 2025, at 7:00 PM at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. This matchup features two teams with contrasting recent performances, making it a compelling contest for hockey enthusiasts and bettors alike.

New York Rangers vs Florida Panthers Game Preview

The Rangers enter this game with a 37-36-7 record, placing them sixth in the Metropolitan Division. New York has been eliminated from playoff contention, as they no longer have enough time to overcome the deficit in the Wild Card race in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers have lost four of their last five games coming into this contest against the Panthers and it will be interesting to see how they react to no longer having a shot at postseason play.

The Panthers hold a 47-29-4 record, sitting in third place in the Atlantic Division. Florida still has a ton to play for late in the regular season. They could finish in second place in the Atlantic and have home-ice advantage in the first round if they can win out and get some help from the Tampa Bay Lightning. As a result, the defending Stanley Cup champions are likely to give this game everything they have against a team that is eliminated from postseason contention.

Betting Insights
