Command Analysis
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form The Wings were very close to making the playoffs last season. However, the Michigan club finished only ninth in the East, behind rivals Washington. In the offseason, Detroit really wanted to strengthen its attack and signed forward Vladimir Tarasenko. This season, the Reds have played only three games and managed to earn a modest two points. Dylan Larkin team suffered a big defeat to Pittsburgh on home ice (3:6), but a day later they beat Nashville (3:0) without scoring, thanks to Cam Talbot excellent play. Incidentally, all three goalies of the hosts have already played in this regular season. On October 15, the Wings arrived in New York, where they were unable to show a decent game against the local Rangers (1:4). Thus, Detroit is now in the basement of the Eastern Conference standings and really needs points. Disqualifications and injuries Jack Campbell, Christian Fischer and Jeff Petry are out with injuries, and Vladimir Tarasenko is questionable. Interesting trends for betting
- Detroit is allowing an average of 3.33 goals per game.
In previous matches, Krylia defended poorly and made many mistakes.
- The Red Wings are winning 44.1% of their faceoffs.
Detroit was poor at the point in the first games.
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers went far last season, but never got to the coveted trophy. Artemiy Panarin team finished the regular season in first place in the conference and beat Washington and Carolina in the first stages. The Cops couldn't handle the pressure from Florida, which later became the champion. New York has scored points in all matches in the current regular season. First, Peter Laviolette men routed the Penguins in Pittsburgh (6:0), after which they returned home and lost to Utah (5:6, OT). In the second meeting of the season on home ice, the Rangers confidently outplayed the guests from Michigan, not allowing the latter to score more than one puck. Igor Shesterkin, who has already made a shutout, has shown himself to be good. Artemy Panarin looks better than others in the attack. In just three matches, the forward has scored seven (2+5) points in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Lindgren and Jamie Veasey are out at Michigan next night, and Chris Kreider is a big question mark.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Rangers have received 14 penalty minutes in their last games.
The Cops have been getting a lot of penalties at the start of the season, but so far it hasn't had a detrimental effect on their results.
- On average, the team scores five goals per game
The visitors played superbly in attack and created a huge number of dangerous moments.

1.35Tip and bets
We believe that the "cops" will continue their winning streak in Michigan. The leader of the attack Artemiy Panarin got into excellent shape by the beginning of the regular season and already scores two points per game. At the same time, New York defense is also good, and Igor Shesterkin failed only in the match against Utah. As for Detroit, the "wings" have problems with the implementation of moments, and they also missed a lot in the first meetings. Perhaps Derek Lalonde will give preference to Cam Talbot after a shutout in the game against Nashville. However, in our opinion, this should not be a serious problem for the visitors. We think that based on this, it is worth giving preference to Peter Laviolette team. Prediction - Rangers win at 2.08
Bet on individual total The Rangers have been playing well offensively and have averaged five goals per game in October. The team from Michigan hasn't looked their best on their own half of the ice yet and was only able to keep a clean sheet against a lackluster Nashville. The teams recently played each other and the Cops scored four times. We think they can do it again, but this time on home ice. We bet on the individual total of Rangers more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.72
Total Bet
The match between the teams in Michigan was not very spectacular, because the guests scored only one accurate shot. Now we expect more activity from the "wings" and offer to bet on the total more goals.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks for 1.60
