Montreal vs. Rangers: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

The Rangers have long since recovered from a protracted slump and are now trying to regain all the lost points. The team has been steadily earning points for seven games in a row, although not all of them ended in victories. The team played a three-game away series, which began away to a very serious opponent in the person of Vegas and barely snatched a victory in regular time (2:1). The defensive line showed an excellent game, which did not allow the opponent to fully realize its attacking potential, and in particular, goalkeeper Shesterkin should be praised, who reflected 96% of the shots. However, the cops were unable to consolidate their success. In the match with Colorado, the team itself was unable to show itself in attack, scoring only two goals, which was not enough, and as a result, they had to lose in overtime (2:3).

Next, New York went to visit Utah, where in the first two periods they looked no better than their competitor and allowed them to create too many dangerous moments near their goal, which the opponent constantly took advantage of. The decisive factor was a goal scored by the Rangers in the minority, thanks to which they managed to equalize the score and earn an important initiative. As a result, the guests scored two more goals and won a confident victory (5:3). In particular, it is worth praising Panarin, who scored twice. Returning to the home arena, the team fought with Columbus and this time it came down to a series of shootouts, where the cops also turned out to be more accurate and snatched a victory with a score of 1:0. It is worth noting that due to a protracted decline, the club seriously dropped in the Eastern Conference table and even due to the points earned, it was unable to return to the playoff zone and currently occupies 12th place.
