Rangers vs Panthers Picks, Predictions & Odds Tonight - NHL

Image
The Florida Panthers host the New York Rangers at Amerant Bank Arena on Friday in a bout between a pair of favorites in the Stanley Cup odds. Despite the Rangers roaring in with a league-leading 24 wins, it’s the Panthers carrying home chalk in the NHL odds. Both teams bookmarked the holiday break with wins, and each of their No. 1 goaltenders are in top form. Interestingly, it’ll be New York backup Jonathan Quick starting Friday, though. The veteran will look to bounce back after losing for the first time in regulation a week ago. Quick has been solid when called upon and sports a high-end .920 SV% and 2.27 GAA.  Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky will take respective .911 and 2.48 marks to the opposite crease, and he’s been even better of late with a .931 SV% while winning three of his past four starts. The similarities don’t end there. With Blueshirt captain Jacob Trouba (upper body) projected to be in the lineup after exiting Wednesday’s game, both teams will also ha

Bayern Munich consider €20m offer for Man Utd ace - report

Bayern Munich are considering making a €20m (£17m) offer for Manchester United centre-back Raphael Varane, a new report has claimed. The Frenchman's contract at Old Trafford expires at the end of the season - and not in 2025 as initially thought - and 9 0min understands that United are yet to decide whether or not to activate their option to extend by a further 12 months. Varane's future has been called into question after the World Cup winner's slide down Manchester United's defensive pecking order. Despite all of his experience, the 30-year-old's game time has been marginalised by Erik ten Hag in recent weeks, with Harry Maguire reclaiming a regular role in the centre of defence. Veteran Jonny Evans has also been preferred to Varane at times, though the Frenchman was back to his impressive best during United's recent 0-0 draw with Liverpool - a performance that reminded many of the qualities that the former Real Madrid defender possesses. Madrid have been lin

Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal: Player ratings as Gunners stay top of the Premier League for Christmas

Image
Arsenal will spend Christmas at the top of the Premier League after battling to a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday evening. Needing simply to avoid defeat to cement their position, Arsenal enjoyed the perfect start when Gabriel headed home after just three minutes, but Mohamed Salah's equaliser midway through the first half restored parity. Trent Alexander-Arnold struck the crossbar in a lively second half but ultimately had to settle for a share of the spoils. How the game unfolded Arsenal weren't far off opening the scoring in the first minute. Bukayo Saka's cross caused chaos and Gabriel Jesus saw a strike deflected perilously over the crossbar. But the lead would come three minutes later as Gabriel rose highest to head home a free-kick from Martin Odegaard, surviving a tense VAR check before seeing his opening goal awarded. Liverpool dominated possession in their search for an equaliser but it was Arsenal who looked most threatening, with Odegaard dragg
