The Rangers visit the Devils for the first and fourth games of this home-and-home series and host them in the second and third. New York currently trails Boston by four points for the fourth and final postseason spot in the East Division but has also played two more games, and the team has alternated losses and wins in its previous six games.

Sabres vs Bruins | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Bruins -400 Favorites
Former Buffalo winger Taylor Hall will waste no time facing his old team as Boston continues a five-game homestand. The Bruins needed a boost after losing two straight and getting outscored 11-3 by the Flyers and Capitals, and they picked up Hall from the Sabres on Sunday in a trade. Boston is also hoping to get goalie Tuukka Rask back this week to help the team make a playoff push. Buffalo upset Philadelphia 5-3 as a +180 road underdog on Sunday, rallying back from deficits of 2-0 and 3-2, with the OVER cashing for the fourth straight time.

Meanwhile, the Capitals are tied with the Islanders atop the East after winning two in a row on the road, with the OVER on a 3-0 run. Since losing the first meeting with Philadelphia this season back on February 7, Washington has won three straight in the series, all away from home. The OVER is also 3-1 in the four meetings between them this year.

Calgary will try to win consecutive games for the first time in nearly a month when the team opens a three-game road trip at Toronto.

The Maple Leafs are coming off a 4-2 loss to the Canadiens as -155 road favorites on Monday, ending their season-long winning streak at six games.

Nashville rebounded to beat Dallas 3-2 as a -105 underdog on Sunday to win for the 10th time in 12 games. Tampa Bay has won six of the seven meetings this year.
