Command Analysis
Boston Bruins
USACurrent form
Lately, Boston has been showing mixed results and not always earning points. After a poor performance on the road and a crushing defeat by New Jersey (1:5), the team returned to their home arena, where they faced a clear underdog in Ottawa and were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, winning a shutout (2:0). Goalkeeper Kopisalo made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting absolutely all of the opponent shots, thereby securing a shutout. Continuing to play at home, the Bears consolidated their success, confidently beating Colorado with a score of 3:1. However, the game did not match the score at all, as the hosts made only 15 shots at the Avalanche goal in three periods and only due to their excellent accuracy were they able to achieve success. In particular, forward Pastrnak should be praised, he scored a goal and made two assists.
It seemed that the Bruins would continue to please fans on the road, but in the match with Buffalo, huge problems arose in defense, which ultimately led to a crushing defeat with a score of 2:7. The opponent realized almost all of their moments in attack, and goalie Swayman did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 81% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, the bears met a much more serious opponent, in the person of Winnipeg, and also could not give them a worthy rebuff, losing with a difference of four goals (2:6). This time Korpisalo stood in goal, but he was also unable to play better than his teammate. Indeed, this season the club has not shown the most stable results and is having difficulty achieving the desired result, which is why it is still outside the playoff zone, having only 56 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lindholm will definitely not be able to take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- Statistically, Boston takes 27 shots on target per game
The Bears have not been known for their active attacking play this season.
- Boston has a 75.8% power play neutralization rate
It is also worth noting the team very weak play while shorthanded.
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers have been in great shape for a long time and have been steadily earning points for ten games in a row. The team has had a home series of four games in a row, which they started very successfully. In the first match with Ottawa, the team left no chances for their competitor, defeating them dry with a score of 5:0. The entire attacking line showed an excellent game, which did not allow the opponent to create dangerous moments near their goal. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions. Then the cops hosted Philadelphia and also defeated the opponent with a difference of five goals (6:1). Goalkeeper Shesterkin showed his best side, reflecting 97% of the shots, which did not allow the Flyers to cling to a comeback.
True, it turned out to be impossible to continue playing in the same spirit. The team faced a very serious opponent in the person of Colorado and could not show the same confident game in defense, which the Avalanche took advantage of. Due to a very effective game in the attack, New York was almost able to transfer the match to overtime, but the visitors scored a puck just 15 seconds before the final whistle, which led to an offensive defeat with a score of 4:5. In the match with Carolina, the Rangers were unable to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, playing even worse and suffering a dry defeat (0:4). The attack line showed a very weak game and in three periods made only 22 shots on the goal of the Hurricanes. So far this season, the club has not distinguished itself with excellent indicators and is currently only in 13th place in the Eastern Conference table. However, the gap from the playoff zone is only five points.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment the team has no problems with the roster.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Rangers average 8.64 penalty minutes per game.
The cops are not very disciplined and are often dismissed.
- According to statistics, the cops allow 31 shots on their goal
The team allows the opponent quite a lot in its own zone and does not have time to block most of the shots
Trends

1.55Bet First Goal: Boston
Boston has opened the scoring in three of the five head-to-head games
1.87Tip and bets
Boston, even at home, has stopped giving a worthy rebuff to its opponents and suffers crushing defeats time after time. The Rangers are quite capable of taking advantage of the Bears' latest slump and earning some very important points for themselves. It is worth noting that the Cops have been showing excellent play on the road lately, where they have been consistently successful. We believe that the Bruins will not be able to interrupt their losing streak and are betting in favor of the visitors for an excellent coefficient.
Our prediction is Rangers win in the match for 2.02
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we can expect a large number of goals scored. Both teams have been showing weak defense throughout the regular championship and have consistently allowed their competitors to realize their attacking potential, which is especially true for Boston, which suffers crushing defeats time after time. So, as a second bet, we choose total over.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.94
Bet on the outcome of the first period
However, we must not forget that Boston will be playing at home, where, with the support of the fans, they are quite capable of creating serious problems for the Rangers at the beginning of the match and gaining an advantage.
Prediction - Boston win in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.80
