Philadelphia vs. Rangers: NHL Match Prediction
On November 29, Philadelphia and the Rangers will play each other in Pennsylvania. The Cops failed to cope with the pressure of Carolina the day before, and the Flyers won a strong-willed victory in Tennessee. In seven of the previous eight games, the Blueshirts beat the hosts. In the last game, John Tortorella charges just broke their losing streak against New York. What will the opening match between the clubs in the new regular season be like?

Command Analysis
Philadelphia Flyers
USACurrent form
Philadelphia has moved up to tenth place in the East and is one point away from the playoff zone. John Tortorella men have scored 23 points in 23 games and have already won quite a few victories in the new season. The hosts are currently in good shape and, after a slight slump, have not lost in regulation time for three games in a row. The Flyers' last home series ended with a victory over Chicago (3:2, OT) and a loss to Vegas (4:5, SO). Before returning home, Sean Couturier team won a tough victory in Tennessee over the local Predators (3:2, OT). Nashville was leading throughout the entire game, but Philly tied the score 12 seconds before the final buzzer and snatched an extra point in overtime.
Carter Hart is off the Philadelphia injury list, but we don't see him on the roster yet. Alexei Kolosov or Ivan Fedotov will likely take to the ice again. After his failure against the Knights, the Russian is unlikely to displace the Belarusian from the starting lineup. Kolosov has only stopped 88.54% of shots in six games and hasn't made a single shutout. Travis Konecny remains the leader of the hosts' attack. This season, the Canadian forward has scored 27 points (11+16) in the goal+pass system. Matvey Michkov has found good form, having scored two goals in the last three games. The young talent has made 17 effective actions (8+9) and occupies the 83rd place in the list of the league best scorers.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Ellis, Ryan Johansen, Jamie Drasdale, Samuel Ersson and Emil Andre are on the injured list for Philly.
Interesting trends for betting
- Philadelphia averages 27 shots per game
The hosts do not attack the opponents' goal very often, but recently this figure has increased slightly.
- The Flyers are earning nine minutes of penalty time per game.
John Tortorella men are sent off five times per game on average, which often has a detrimental effect on the team results.
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
New York lost four games in a row and seriously worsened its position in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers dropped to sixth place in the conference and were left with 25 points after 21 games. The decline began at the end of the last away series of games. The Cops lost in Calgary (2:3) and Edmonton (2:6), and were then routed by St. Louis on their home ice (2:5). At the start of the new away tour, the Blueshirts were close to success in the confrontation with Carolina. They were leading in the score before the start of the final period of the game, but conceded two goals in a little over two minutes and were left without any points.
Peter Laviolette men have conceded 21 goals in their last five games. The visitors' defense is more like a sieve, although at the start of the season it was one of the best in the league. Igor Shesterkin has seriously declined in terms of reliability and has worsened his save percentage to 91.05%. The Russian goalie has only one shutout in 16 starts.
The Rangers have scored only 13 goals in their last five games. The team leading scorer, Artemi Panarin, has dropped to 18th place in the league scoring list. The forward still has 26 points (12+14) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
Filip Chytil and Chris Kreider will be out of action in Pennsylvania.
Interesting trends for betting
- New York averages 30 shots per game
The Rangers usually put a lot of pressure on their opponents' goal.
- Guests earn 8.57 minutes per match on average
The "Cops" try to play as disciplined as possible and they do it well.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals
In two of the three previous matches between the teams, no more than one goal was scored in the first period.
2.00Bet 2nd period: Rangers to score
The Rangers have scored in the second period in their last nine games.
1.40Tip and bets
Philadelphia has scored points in its last three games, but the Flyers have narrowly escaped defeat in regulation time twice. The Flyers remain one of the worst teams in the conference at home, although they have played well in previous games. The Rangers have been unable to score points for a long time, but Peter Laviolette men were very close to winning the day before. The visitors have a very good history of personal meetings with the Flyers. We believe that the Cops will take two points in the upcoming game in Pennsylvania.
Our prediction is Rangers win the match at 1.65
Individual Total Forecast
In the last five games, Philadelphia has only managed to score three or more accurate shots once. The Rangers play somewhat more reliably on the road and on the road they allow 2.36 goals on average. Now Peter Laviolette charges must pull themselves together and end their losing streak. To do this, they cannot allow a lot of goals.
We take Philadelphia individual total of less than three goals for 1.55
Total Forecast
Both teams have not been making the best use of their chances lately. In four of the previous five matches, there were no more than five goals scored between the opponents. Phil has not been playing effectively in the second half of the month and only one of the five matches involving the Flyers was spectacular. Let play a bet on the total under the goals scored.
Game Prediction - Total Under Six Goals for 1.78
