Hockey betting odds on Sunday have the New York Rangers favored at home against the Toronto Maple Leafs.The Rangers are a big favorite but gamblers that bet on hockey should be aware that New York is only 5-5 in the last 10 games against the Leafs.
Hockey scheduling information shows that both teams are in the second of back-to-backs. Hockey schedule info tells us that the Leafs were home against Vancouver last night while the Rangers were in Buffalo.

Toronto has been below .500 this season on the road but they get such big prices that the Leafs have actually been a moneymaker in hockey. Toronto has a horrible defense but their offense is just outside of the Top 10 in the NHL as bet on hockey statistics show and sometimes that is enough to steal games on the road. Jason Blake leads the team in scoring as bet on hockey stats show.
New York has been pretty solid on home ice this season but laying big money with the Rangers in hockey betting is always risky. New York has almost opposite hockey stats than Toronto as the Rangers are very poor on offense but strong on defense. Nikolai Zherdev actually leads New York in points and that tells you how much the Rangers are struggling on offense. Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist has been pretty solid this season but occasionally can come up with a clunker.
