Command Analysis

New York Rangers

Current form
The Rangers are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and could well become one of the leaders this season. Under the leadership of Peter Laviolette, the team has been showing a bright game and has scored at least five goals in the first matches. It should be noted that they managed to beat Pittsburgh (6:0) on the road, but on their home ice, in a tough fight, they suffered a defeat from Utah with a score of 5:6 in overtime.
In the match with Utah, the "cops" showed character and made a great comeback, but luck in overtime was not on their side. Incidentally, Artemiy Panarin, one of the leaders of the attack, managed to score twice and make two assists in a couple of games. The second game was unsuccessful for Igor Shesterkin, who missed six goals in 26 shots, although he parried 31 shots in his debut match.

Detroit Red Wings

Current form
Detroit can perform much better this season than last year. The team has already managed to unite and play together, so it can become one of the strong "mid-table" teams in the league, which will be a contender for the playoffs. Earlier, on its home ice, it managed to hold two matches against Pittsburgh (3:6) and Nashville (3:0), and in the second case, it achieved a very confident victory and did not miss any goals.
Alex DeBrincat, who was one of the team leading scorers last season, also scored two goals. Overall, the Red Wings have been playing well in attack under Derek Lalonde and often score more than two goals. Cam Talbot performance in the second game should also be noted; he was on a roll and made a total of 42 saves. The number one goalie, Ville Husso, spent the entire 60 minutes on the bench after an unsuccessful performance against the Pens.

Campbell and Petrie will not play in the match due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting

Trends

1.75Bet 3rd period: Rangers win
In three out of five matches, the "cops" achieved victory in the third period
2.10Tip and bets
In our opinion, the Rangers can be considered the favorites of the confrontation. After an offensive defeat, the Cops must pull themselves together and show a quality game and pay more attention to defense. Detroit is inferior to its opponent in class, so it is not surprising that all recent face-to-face meetings ended in favor of the home team. Also, do not forget that on home ice, Laviolette team, as a rule, does without losing points.
Prediction - Rangers win for 1.85
Bet on individual total
The "Cops" showed crazy efficiency in the first matches and distinguished themselves by no less than five goals scored. In four previous meetings out of five against "Detroit", the hosts also scored at least three times. If the "Rangers" do not have problems with the implementation of moments, they will be able to score no less than four times in the upcoming confrontation.
We bet on the Rangers' individual total of more than three goals for 1.59
Total Bet
The previous matches involving the Rangers were spectacular and productive. The Cops play well in attack and are used to scoring a lot. However, Detroit will probably find its moments, since it is also not used to sitting back in defense. By the way, the last two out of three matches between the clubs were played with no less than seven goals.
We take the total over six pucks with a coefficient of 1.85
