Rangers vs. Florida: NHL Match Prediction
The NHL championship will feature a match between the Rangers and Florida on October 25. The Cops are currently looking better than their counterparts and are on a long winning streak, while the Panthers are alternating victories with defeats. However, everyone remembers the Eastern Conference finals of last season, when the visitors won. Will Peter Laviolette team take revenge on their offender? What should they bet on in this confrontation? You will learn all about this in our forecast
Command Analysis
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers are currently the leaders of the Eastern Conference, but have the same number of points as New Jersey, despite having played fewer games. The team lost its only point in the confrontation with Utah, but after that it produced a brilliant series of four victories. Let us recall that it did not lose points on the road either, from which it returned only recently. The Cops were able to beat Detroit (5:2), Toronto (4:1) on the road, and also proved their superiority over Montreal with a score of 7:2. At the same time, in all four cases they demonstrated excellent performance and scored at least four goals. In general, the club ranks second in terms of performance in the league and is second only to the Devils.
So far, the season has been fantastically successful for Artemi Panarin, who shone in the opening games and managed to earn 13 points in the goal+pass system. Thanks to this, he is in second place in the championship among the best scorers. As for the power play, the “cops” are in full order with this too, because they have a 31.6% conversion rate on the power play and usually have no problems securing their position in the opponent’s zone. The Rangers’ most successful performances remain the first and third game segments, in which they have the best ratio of goals scored and goals conceded.

The club currently has the best third-quarter goal ratio in the league
Florida Panthers
USACurrent form
The season is starting off very tough for Florida. The current Stanley Cup champion is clearly far from its best form, but even so, it earns points on a regular basis. Earlier, the Panthers lost to Vancouver in overtime (2:3 OT), dealt with Vegas in extra time (4:3 OT) and only in the final match with Minnesota suffered a major defeat with a score of 1:5, having scored only one goal. Such a situation, in which Paul Maurice team cannot score even twice, occurs incredibly rarely, because the club has a powerful offensive line and constantly creates many dangerous moments near the opponent goal. However, the Panthers need to improve their defensive play, as they often have more than two or three pucks in their net. No matter how good Sergei Bobrovsky is, he also has bad days, when he needs the support of his defensive linemen. At the same time, oddly enough, Florida plays well in the minority and currently has 85.7% of the extra man neutralization, ranking seventh in the league in this indicator. As a rule, the club most successful performance remains the second segment, since it finds most of its scoring opportunities when it goes to the far benches. At the same time, both in the first and third twenty minutes, Maurice charges have a negative ratio of goals scored and conceded.

2.45Tip and bets
The Rangers are in incredible shape and are on a long winning streak. They are definitely not going to stop there at home and want to please their fans. Plus, it is very important for the Cops to take revenge for the disappointing defeat in the Stanley Cup. They are approaching this match in better shape than the Panthers. Florida has many more problems and is clearly not as successful in attack as its opponent. We think that with the support of the stands, the hosts will be stronger.
Prediction - Rangers win for 2.10
Bet on individual total
We expect to see a very active attacking game from the home team in this match. Before that, they showed great results and averaged at least four goals. Florida even missed five times in the last match with Minnesota. Also, we should not forget that the Cops are currently one of the most prolific clubs in the league, and Panarin is in excellent shape.
We take the individual total of “Rangers” more than three goals with the coefficient of 1.95
Total Bet
The Rangers have played most of their previous matches with a huge number of goals. The team, of course, scored a lot, but rarely conceded less than two goals in response. Regular season matches between the clubs are also often spectacular and have at least seven goals. Based on this, we suggest betting on the total over.
We bet on total over 5.5 goals with odds of 1.80
