Command Analysis
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers have improved quite a bit lately. They were able to overcome an unsuccessful period during which their game did not work at all, and got close to the playoff zone. At the moment, they are in the ninth position of the Eastern Conference and have 62 points to their credit, literally four points behind Detroit, so in case of a successful winning streak, they can take its place. By the way, in the previous three out of four meetings, the team celebrated success.
The cops dealt with Columbus (4:3), lost to Buffalo (2:8), and also proved their superiority over Pittsburgh (5:3) on the road and confidently dealt with the Islanders with a score of 5:1. At the same time, Peter Laviolette's team adjusted their attacking game and began to regularly form at least three or four goals. The main scorer in the squad, of course, remains Artemi Panarin, who earned a total of 59 points in the goal +pass system and continues to demonstrate excellent performance.
By the way, the most successful performance of the Rangers is the third game segment, in which they have a 59:50 ratio of dropped and missed goals. However, they do not perform as well on their own ice as on other people's ice, since up to this point they had managed to win only 12 victories in regular time. But the team continues to show a powerful game in the minority and currently has 87.7% neutralization of the majority of the opponent.

Toronto Maple Leafs
CanadaCurrent form
Toronto continues to gradually improve its position in the standings and has already reached the second place in the Eastern Conference. The team earned a total of 72 points, but unfortunately, it can claim leadership in the conference, since it is already 10 points away from Washington. Plus, this season the leafs do not have long winning streaks and, as a rule, they are replaced by a series of failures.
Nevertheless, in six of the previous seven meetings, they celebrated success. Let's remind that before that, they dealt with Seattle (3:1) on the road and lost to Vancouver (1:2), after which they proved their superiority over Carolina at home (6:3), and also confidently played the match against Chicago on the road and defeated Victoria with a score of 5:2. They also managed to consolidate their success in the meeting with Boston, which they dealt with in overtime - 5:4 OT. At the same time, the club was very effective in most matches and scored at least three or four goals. There are also some effective actions from Auston Matthews, who scored well and consistently scored points in previous matches using the goal+pass system, mainly with assists.
Let's emphasize that Craig Berube's team is also performing quite well at other venues this season and has achieved victory in exactly half of the meetings during the regular season. Toronto plays the most powerfully in the second twenty minutes, in which it has a 70:47 ratio of goals scored and conceded, so playing on the far benches is quite easy.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pacioretty, Dewar, Jarnkrock and Hakanpaa will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

The leafs are at their best at the point and leave most of the face-offs behind.

1.75The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the hosts
In the last two matches, the hosts were successful in the second leg.
2.77Tip and bets
The Rangers are approaching this confrontation in excellent condition and continue to delight their fans with great results. The team may return to the playoff zone in the near future, so it is probably motivated by this fact. Plus, the cops reserved many previous meetings against Toronto and dealt with the opponent with a difference of several goals. The leafs are clearly not performing as well on the road as they do on their own ice, so we suggest betting on the success of Laviolette's squad.
Prediction - Rangers win in 2.60
Betting on an individual total
In recent meetings, the Rangers have been very effective and have opened up the opponents' defenses at least three times. The cops have been scoring a lot all season, and that's not surprising, since they have one of the most powerful offensive lines in the league. Toronto usually concedes three times on a visit, and in the last four meetings with the cops, the guests regularly allowed the opponent to score three goals.
We're betting more than 2.5 goals for 1.70 on the Rangers' individual total.
