Command Analysis
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers have improved greatly over the last month and have started to show the results that pleased their fans at the start of the season. The team is now earning points much more often than before, so it is quite possible that in the near future they will be able to improve their position in the standings and rise from the 13th place in the Eastern Conference, where they currently are.
Let us emphasize that before that, the cops had dealt with Utah (5:3) on the road, and after a difficult victory over Columbus (1:0 SO), they lost to Montreal 4:5 in overtime. Fortunately, they pulled themselves together on their home ice and dealt with Ottawa 5:0, leaving their opponent no chance for a favorable outcome. This was immediately followed by a crushing victory over Philadelphia (6:1). By the way, in the final confrontation with Colorado on their home ice, Peter Laviolette team also showed themselves well, but still lost 4:5, missing the decisive goal literally a few seconds before the end of the third period.
By the way, oddly enough, the Rangers are playing mediocre in the second period, where they have a 50:57 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded. It is also worth mentioning that the club is not quite getting along in the majority this season, which is why they still have an 18.8% conversion rate on the power play and are ranked 22nd in the championship in this indicator.

Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
Carolina is currently one of the leaders of the Eastern Conference and is in second place in the standings. The team is currently seven points behind Washington, so it will definitely not be able to catch up in the near future. However, it has been showing great results and winning often lately, so if the club continues to perform in the same spirit, it will certainly be able to get closer to the Capitals.
Let us recall that the Hurricanes had been successful in four of their previous five matches. They had dealt with Chicago (4:3 OT) and Dallas (2:1) on the road, and after a successful match against Columbus (7:4), they unexpectedly lost to the Islanders on the road with a score of 2:3 in overtime, while scoring only two goals. Incidentally, in that match they had a comfortable advantage of two goals, so the defeat was extremely offensive and painful for them.
In general, Rod Brind'Amour team has not been as successful on the road this season as it has been on home ice, having managed to win only eight victories within 60 minutes. The third period is the most favorable for the Hurricanes, in which they have a 63:49 ratio of goals scored and conceded, and they often keep it. By the way, the club is currently one of the most productive in its conference and usually opens up the opponents' defense at least three or four times.
Disqualifications and injuries
Carrier, Fast, Jost and Roslovic will not be able to take part in the upcoming fight

In three out of four matches, the visitors ended the third period in their favor
2.40Tip and bets
We think that Carolina will still be able to prove its superiority over its opponent in the upcoming match. The Rangers, of course, have shown good results recently, but they have already stumbled in the final confrontation with Colorado. Plus, previous matches between the clubs often ended in favor of the Hurricanes, and the guests are a very unpleasant and inconvenient opponent for the cops. We also note that the guests have just come off a long winning streak, so they will try to get back on it as quickly as possible. Based on this, we bet on their success.
Prediction - Carolina win for 2.15
Bet on individual total
Carolina usually manages with a minimal number of goals conceded and usually does not allow the opponent to score more than once or twice. The Hurricanes, as a rule, skillfully neutralize the danger at their goal. The Rangers, in meetings with such opponents, show mediocre results and are often unable to open the opponents' defense more than twice.
We bet on the Rangers individual total under 2.5 goals for 1.90
Total Bet
Many of the games involving Rod Brind'Amour team this season have not been particularly productive, as they prefer to play a fairly closed style of hockey and pay more attention to defense. The previous match between the clubs, which took place at the end of December, also ended with only four goals scored. It is quite possible that this time the visitors will also play in their own style, so we will not expect a large number of goals scored.
We take the total under 5.5 pucks for 2.05
