Montreal Canadiens vs New York Rangers Prediction and Betting Tips (17.10.2021)

Command Analysis

Montreal Canadiens

Canada

The Montreal Canadiens showed mediocre results in the preseason. The team managed to record only two victories over Ottawa (2:1) and Toronto (5:2). In return matches against the same teams, the Canadiens were defeated. The main reason for a bad start is poor performance on the defensive, due to which the Canadiens concede a large number of goals.

Montreal failed to earn points in the regular season, too. They lost to the Maple Leafs in the first game (1:2) and then were devastated by Buffalo (1:5).

New York Rangers

USA

The New York Rangers made a solid start in the preseason, winning four out of six games. The Rangers also suffered two crushing defeats at the hands of New Jersey (1:7) and the Islanders (0:4). Not all victories were easy for the Rangers; twice they prevailed in overtime, over the Islanders (5:4 OT) and Boston (4:3 OT).

The Rangers are yet to win in the regular season. In the first match, they suffered a crushing defeat against Washington (1:5). Goaltender Georgiev was unreliable and saved only 81% of the shots. After that, the Rangers lost to Dallas (2:3 OT).
