Command Analysis
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
After an unsuccessful period that lasted for two months, the Rangers finally came to their senses and began to show the results that the fans expected from them. The team has often been successful in previous meetings and won more often than before, so it is likely that in the near future it will still be able to improve its position in the standings and move closer to the playoff zone, from which it is now separated by five points. However, she had recently faced a series of three setbacks.
So, after a successful match against Philadelphia (6:1), it seemed that Peter Laviolette's squad was already in excellent condition and ready to fight absolutely any opponent. However, she subsequently lost to Colorado (4:5), Carolina (0:4), and also lost to Boston on the road, losing to them with a score of 3:6. Fortunately, after losing to the Bruins, the club came to its senses and proved its superiority over Vegas on the home court with a score of 4:2, while taking advantage of the numerical advantage in that match and scoring two goals in the 5x4 format.
Let's emphasize that, in general, the Rangers are playing mediocre in the second half of the game, in which they have a 51:61 ratio of goals scored and missed. But the "cops" look good in the minority and currently have 82.2% neutralization of the majority of the opponent, occupying the seventh place in the championship according to this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adam Edstrom will not be able to help his team in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- The Rangers receive an average of 8.46 minutes of penalty time per match.
Usually, the "cops" are removed at least four times per game and are not well disciplined.
- According to statistics, the cops can make 31 shots on their own goal.
The team allows the opponent quite a lot in their own zone and does not have time to cover most of the shots.
Boston Bruins
USACurrent form
It will be very difficult for Boston to gain a foothold in the playoff zone this season, especially considering the results it has shown throughout the year. The team usually dispenses with long winning streaks and limits itself to one or two quizzes in a row. That is why she is currently on the tenth line of the Eastern Conference, but at the same time she is literally one point away from eighth place.
Note that before that, the Bears had defeated Colorado (3:1), after which they lost to Buffalo (2:7) on the road, and lost to Winnipeg with a score of 2 on the home court.:6. Fortunately, after another major defeat, they nevertheless pulled themselves together and proved their superiority over the Rangers (6:3), while playing well offensively and making great use of most of their moments.
Joe Sacco's players usually perform much better on their ice than they do on the road, and up to this point he has only allowed himself to be beaten seven times during regular time. However, the Bruins still can't get their game right in the second twenty minutes and have a 46:58 ratio in terms of goals scored and missed, so playing on the far benches is very, very difficult for them. The club also has serious problems with playing in 5x4 and 5x3 formats, and at the moment it has only 15.2% of excess sales, occupying the penultimate place in the league according to this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hampus Lindholm will not be able to participate in the upcoming confrontation.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Boston makes 27 shots on target per match.
The Bruins are far from the most shooting team in the East and rarely threaten an opponent's goal more than 27 times.
- According to statistics, Boston gets 10.74 minutes of penalty time per match.
The Bears are usually eliminated at least five times per game and exhibit poor discipline throughout the season.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches between the teams, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.82The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the hosts
In three out of five meetings against Boston, the hosts achieved victory in the third segment.
2.20Tip and bets
In our opinion, the Rangers will already be better prepared for the confrontation with Boston and will play stronger than last time. The Cops have won most of their previous fights against the Bruins in their favor and have been successful within regular time. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the fact that this match will be the second in two days for the guests, and usually back-to-back series are very difficult for the bears. Laviolette's team, on the contrary, managed to fully recover, so it makes sense to bet on its success.
Prediction - Rangers win in 2.00
Betting on an individual total
In previous matches against the Rangers, the visitors were mediocre and usually had no more than two goals scored. After a difficult match against Minnesota the day before, it will be even more difficult for them to create and take advantage of their chances. By the way, in four out of five meetings, Laviolette's wards did not allow their opponent to score three times. Based on this, we take the individual total of the underdog.
We take the individual total of "Boston" less than 2.5 goals for 1.85
Bet on the total total
The last game between the clubs, of course, turned out to be incredibly spectacular and went with nine goals scored, but we would not have expected something like this in the upcoming confrontation. The teams will play in a more relaxed style, and the Bruins will once again pay more attention to defense after the match with the Savages. The cops hold a lot of meetings on their ice with a minimum number of goals, so we suggest betting on a smaller total.
We bet on a total of less than six goals for 1.75
