The Tampa Bay Lightning visit the New York Rangers on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Both teams have strong starts this season. Tampa Bay is 4-1, while the Rangers hold a 5-2 record. This promises to be a competitive game.
Looking at the betting odds, Tampa Bay is the favorite on the road with a moneyline of -162. This means you’d need to bet $162 to win $100 on Tampa Bay outright. The Rangers are underdogs at home with a moneyline of 136, so a $100 bet would net $136 if they win.
The spread is interesting. Tampa Bay is favored by 1.5 goals at +154 odds, meaning a $100 bet would win $154 if Tampa Bay wins by two or more goals. On the flip side, the Rangers are +1.5 goals at -185, so you’d have to risk $185 to win $100 betting on them to lose by one goal or less, or win outright.
The total is set at 5.5 goals, with the “over” priced at -135 and the “under” at 114. The odds suggest the sportsbook expects a moderately high-scoring game but slightly favors the under, given the better payout on the under bet.
In summary, Tampa Bay is the favorite but must cover a tough 1.5-goal spread on the road. The Rangers are solid at home but are underdogs. The total suggests a balanced game with scoring around five to six goals. Choose your bet based on how much risk you want and your confidence in either team’s margin of victory.
