Edmonton vs. Rangers: NHL Match Prediction
Edmonton will host a home arena battle against Rangers on November 24. Previous head-to-head meetings were sometimes in favor of one club, sometimes in favor of the other. This will make their upcoming confrontation more interesting. Moreover, both teams will be motivated to take two points, because they have unsuccessfully finished their last matches. What is the best bet on the upcoming confrontation? You will find out the answer from our forecast
Command Analysis
Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton is in eighth place in the Western Conference and can’t seem to improve its position in the standings. The team has made many attempts to do so, but they all end in failure. Thus, this month it has had a series of three victories, which was followed by three defeats in four games. Let us recall that on the road, the Oilers were unable to cope with Toronto (3:4 OT), and also looked mediocre against Montreal, losing to them with a score of 0:3. Fortunately, in the final away game, the Oilers still dealt with Ottawa (5:2), but upon returning to their home arena, they lost again to Minnesota (3:5).
Let us emphasize that in most cases, at least three pucks end up in the net of Chris Knobloch team, and at the moment it is the most let-in team among the clubs in the playoff zone. In general, the Oilers' home ice game this season is not going well, because before this they were able to win only one victory within 60 minutes, and they allowed themselves to be beaten in regulation time six times.
It is worth remembering that the club cannot improve its game in the minority and currently has a 69.2% neutralization of the opponent power play. The main sniper in the team is Leon Draisaitl, who has already managed to score 15 goals, and McDavid is behind him by as many as six goals. However, this is also due to the fact that the Canadian missed several games due to injury.
Disqualifications and injuries
Arvidsson, Hyman, Kane and Nurse will be out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Edmonton has a 21-28 record in goals scored and goals allowed.
The Oilers are mediocre in the third period and often lose in it
- Edmonton has a 16.7% power play percentage
The Oilers have had problems converting their power plays this season.
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers have big goals this season and are already determined to win the long-awaited cup. However, to do this, they first need to have a decent regular season and easily secure a playoff spot. Note that the club is currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference and has scored 23 points in total. Not long ago, it was in the top three, but due to a loss in the last match, it ended up in sixth place.
It is worth mentioning that the "cops" often show great results and replace one defeat with at least two victories in a row. At the same time, they have not lost two games in a row since the beginning of the season. By the way, the club still remains the best in the league in terms of defense and usually allows no more than two goals. Credit must also be given to Igor Shesterkin, who is in excellent shape and makes many saves from match to match.
The Rangers are most powerful in the opening and closing periods of the game, but the second period, when the game is played with the far benches, does not always go smoothly for them. It is also worth mentioning that the team plays decently in 3x5 and 4x5 formats and is in second place in the championship in this indicator, having 88.1% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Rangers currently have no problems with their squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Rangers are winning 53.1 percent of their faceoffs.
The Cops are doing well at the point and taking most of the faceoffs
- The team currently has a 23.9% power play conversion rate.
The club is making good use of its numerical advantage and is close to converting every fourth attempt
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In four out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was unscoring
2.00Bet 2nd period: guests will score
In the last five meetings, the visitors scored goals in the second period
1.62Tip and bets
The Rangers have looked more stable than their opponents this season and are trying to avoid several defeats in a row. The Cops have never lost two games in a row within 60 minutes this season, so they will certainly do everything to earn points in the upcoming confrontation. Edmonton, in addition, has recently been winning with great difficulty and usually does not fit into regulation time. We think that Laviolette team cannot be considered an underdog in this match and it is worth betting on their victory for such a coefficient.
Prediction - Rangers win with handicap (0) for 2.10
Bet on individual total
In seven previous meetings with Edmonton, the "cops" regularly scored at least three goals. The "oilers" are not a model of defense and on average let in at least three or four goals on their home ice. By the way, in three out of four games, the "oilers" also allowed their opponents to open their defense three times. Given the strength of the Rangers' attack line, it will be difficult for the hosts to get away with fewer than three goals.
We bet on the individual total of Rangers over 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.67
Total Bet
Matches between these clubs are often exciting and feature six or more goals scored. Edmonton plays exclusively on counter-courses and relies exclusively on attack. The Rangers, in turn, also often allow their opponents to score two or three goals per match. It is quite possible that this time we will see active hockey with a large number of goals.
We take the total over 5.5 pucks with a coefficient of 1.55
