Winnipeg Rangers: NHL match betting tip
Winnipeg and the Rangers will meet on March 12 in Winnipeg, Canada. The match in the province of Manitoba will be very interesting, because the Jets are leading the Western Conference table, and the Cops are fighting to get into the playoffs in the East. In November, the fighters came to New York and did not give the then hosts a single chance, scoring six goals against the Rangers. Now the situation is completely different. Will the guests take revenge? This is stated in the betting tip for the match

Command Analysis

Winnipeg Jets

Current form
Winnipeg remains the sole leader of the Eastern Conference and holds the first place in the Central Division. The Jets are more stable than others over the long run and have already scored 92 points in 65 starts. Scott Arniel's team had a great run at the end of winter and scored 11 consecutive victories, but after that, the expected decline set in. The Fighters have lost four of their previous six meetings and have scored only seven points since February 27. Before returning to Canada, they beat Philadelphia (4:1) and New Jersey (6:1), but lost to Carolina (2:4).
The hosts play the best defense and concede only 2.34 goals per game on average. The Jets have allowed their opponents to score only 13 times in the last eight matches, which is a very strong result. The best goalkeeper in the league at the moment continues to prove his high level of skill. Connor Hellebuyck blocked 92.62% of shots on his possessions and made six shutouts in 49 duels.
Disqualifications and injuries
All the Canadian leaders will play against the cops. Vladislav Namestnikov's participation is still in question.
Interesting betting trends
- Winnipeg throws only 28 times per game on average.
- The Jets earn 7.88 minutes of penalty time per duel.

New York Rangers

Current form
New York played very poorly at the end of last year and lost its former positions and chances for first place in the conference. Now the Rangers are slowly righting their position, but they are still only on the ninth line in the East. The Cops scored 68 points in 64 games and scored one point less than Ottawa, which is in eighth place in the conference. The guests have played two more games, so it is imperative that they continue to win. They looked pretty good at the end of February, but now they're on a three-game losing streak. The Blue Shirts lost to Washington (2:3, OT), Ottawa (3:4, OT) and were defeated by Columbus (3:7).
Peter Laviolette's team played great defense in late winter and early spring. In the last three matches, they clearly slowed down in terms of reliability and allowed their opponents to score 12 goals. Jonathan Quick failed in the match against Columbus, and Igor Shesterkin is still the number one among the guests. The Russian is not very good at this regular season and coped with only 90.50% of attacks on his possessions.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adam Edstrom will not travel with the team to the province of Manitoba.
Interesting betting trends
- Cops win 53.4% of face-offs
- The guests receive an average of 8.28 minutes of penalty time.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In four of the last five games with Winnipeg, no more than one goal was scored in the first period.
1.92Bet 2nd period: New York will score
The Cops scored in the second period in four out of five games.
1.60Tip and bets
Winnipeg is not very good at this stage of the season. After a very powerful series, the Jets naturally began to slow down and lose more often. The hosts are far from succeeding in the attack at the beginning of spring and they often have problems in terms of implementing the moments. The Rangers are gradually improving and are already close to how they played at the start of the regular season. New York is unlikely to be able to defeat the fighters in the province of Manitoba, but Adam Fox's squad is definitely capable of at least clinging to one point. We are betting on the victory of the guests with a positive handicap.
Our prediction is that the Rangers will win with an Asian handicap (+1) in 1.72
Betting on an individual total
Winnipeg is averaging 3.51 goals this season, but in the last five games, the Canadians have scored only 15 times, with ten goals scored in two duels. Igor Shesterkin is scheduled to appear in the match against the Jets, and he has looked reliable enough in past games. We believe that the cops will be able to withstand the pressure of the opponent and will not miss too much.
Prediction - Winnipeg's individual total is less than three goals in 1.95
Bet on the total
The meeting between the rivals in New York turned out to be productive and gave hockey fans nine abandoned goals in regular time. Now everything can be different, because the guests have rebuilt and become much more reliable in their half of the site. Winnipeg has no problems defending, so we are not expecting bright hockey this Wednesday.
Betting Tip - total less than six goals in 1.65
