New York Rangers Top List of Most Profitable Bets in NHL
Sports betting isn't as easy as betting on good teams and betting against bad teams.
If you want an example to back up that statement, look at the Toronto Maple Leafs this NHL season. Despite being 17-7-2 on the season and sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference, you'd hardly be breaking even if you bet on them every game.
If you placed $100 on the Maple Leafs moneyline in every game this season, you'd be up only $95. Crazy, huh?
With that being said, let's take a look at the top 10 most profitable NHL teams to bet on so far this season. All figures are based on $100 moneyline bets.

New York Rangers Are Most Profitable Team in NHL
In most cases, the most profitable team to bet on is one that nobody expected to be good, but yet they continue to win games. That's exactly what the New York Rangers have done so far this season.
At 16-4-3, they hold the second best record in the Metropolitan Division and they're 9-1 in their last 10 games. They're also on a six-game winning streak as of writing this article.
Based on their preseason odds, which had them tied for fourth with the Capitals to win the Division, the Rangers have been over-performing. They can thank goaltender Igor Shesterkin for a good chunk of their success, as his 0.937 save percentage is tied for the best mark in the NHL.
