The New York Rangers are the new favorites to win the Stanley Cup, according to online bookmaker Bovada.

The Rangers have replaced the Chicago Blackhawks atop the board, the Blueshirts’ odds going from 12/1 on March 3 to 13/2 today. (Chicago’s odds went from 15/2 to 7/1 over the same period.)

The Wild’s odds also improved (for them, not for bettors) a fair bit, from 14/1 to 8/1.

Meanwhile, a couple of teams whose odds moved in the opposite direction were the Predators (from 9/1 to 14/1) and Islanders (from 12/1 to 18/1).

Here’s the full new list:

New York Rangers: 13/2
Chicago Blackhawks: 7/1
Minnesota Wild: 8/1
Anaheim Ducks: 9/1
Montreal Canadiens: 10/1
St. Louis Blues: 10/1
Tampa Bay Lightning: 10/1
