Vancouver vs. Rangers: NHL Match Prediction

The Killer Whales are not in the best shape, and in the upcoming match they will have to fight a very strong opponent in the form of the Rangers. Will the Canucks be able to cling to points? We suggest you read the forecast and bets below
Command Analysis
Vancouver Canucks
CanadaCurrent form
Vancouver has not been able to consistently earn points for a long time and continues to alternate victories with defeats. After a 3:7 defeat by Edmonton, the team hosted Calgary on the road and this time played much more reliably in defense, thanks to which they won a confident 3:1 victory. In particular, it is worth praising the efforts of goalie Lankinen, who reflected 96% of the shots. Thus, he managed to rehabilitate himself for the failed performance in the match with the Oilers. However, the "killer whales" were unable to consolidate their success. In the match with the Islanders, problems in defense arose again, which led to another defeat (2:5).
Continuing to play at home, the Canucks fought against the obvious underdog Chicago and took full advantage of their superiority, leaving no chance for the Hawks (4:1). This time, forward Miller distinguished himself, scoring a goal and also giving an assist. Vancouver was unable to consolidate its success again and, due to defensive lapses, suffered a 3:5 defeat to Nashville. Lankinen was unable to save the team from losing points, reflecting only 80% of the shots.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vancouver continues to have roster problems, with Demko, Poolman, Boeser and Forboth still out.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vancouver averages 3.17 goals per game
The team continues to have problems making use of the extra player on the court and rarely takes advantage of a serious advantage.
- The Killer Whales converted 25% of their power play attempts
Thanks to a very successful attacking game, the team consistently realizes its numerical superiority, punishing opponents for breaking the rules.
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers continue to be in excellent condition and have been steadily earning points for a long period of time. After a less than successful performance in the match with Winnipeg and a 3:6 defeat, the team continued to play at home, where they met a less serious opponent in the person of San Jose and snatched a victory in regulation time (3:2). Once again, the attacking line showed itself in all its glory, it is difficult to even single out any of the players, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions. Goalkeeper Shesterkin also defended himself very confidently after a failure in the match with the Jets.
The "cops" then went on the road to play against Seattle and this time they won a shutout (2:0). This time, Quick was in goal and played even better than his teammate, stopping all shots and recording another shutout in his career. Indeed, the Rangers approached this season in excellent shape and were able to score 21 points in 16 games. But for now, the club occupies sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings, as it has played fewer games than its competitors.
Disqualifications and injuries
It is also worth noting that the Rangers have no problems with the roster. Almost all the players are in the lineup, and only forward Chytil remains in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Rangers are allowing an average of 2.3 goals per game.
The club hallmark remains its very reliable defensive play and in this regard it is one of the best in the league.
- On average, the Krakens receive nine penalty minutes per match.
But the team still has problems with discipline. It breaks the rules too often and remains in the minority.
Trends
Bet First Goal: Rangers
In three of the four head-to-head matches, the Rangers opened the scoring
1.87Goal in each period bet - yes
In five head-to-head matches in a row, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.45Tip and bets
Bookmakers cannot single out a favorite in the upcoming match and give approximately equal odds for the teams to win, which is a bit strange, given the current form of the clubs. Vancouver continues to experience difficulties from match to match, and even home walls do not always help the team achieve the desired results. The Rangers, on the contrary, are in optimal condition, due to which they have been coping with almost any opponents on their way for a long time. We believe that you should take advantage of the high odds and bet in favor of the guests.
Our prediction is Rangers win at 2.34
Bet on total
As we have already noted, the Rangers are distinguished by a very reliable game in defense and rarely allow them to realize their attacking potential. The Cops will most likely play from their strong side again, which in the end will not have the best effect on the overall performance of the match.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.81
Bet on the outcome of the first period
It is worth noting that Vancouver first period is far from the most successful. The team rarely earns an advantage at the end of the opening period, and often allows its opponents to do so.
Prediction - Rangers win in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.80
