Rangers - Edmonton: NHL match betting tip
The matchup between the Rangers and Edmonton will take place on March 17. The cops finally started to come to their senses and get in good shape, as they celebrated their success in the previous two fights. So far, the oil companies have not been able to fully find their game, which has borne fruit for them, so they continue to show very unstable results. Nevertheless, the Oilers ended the last meeting against the home team with a score of 6:2. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will learn about this from the betting tip

Command Analysis

New York Rangers

Current form
The Rangers are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference and have earned a combined 72 points. The team was completely outside the playoff zone for a long period of time, but gradually began to recover. Recall that she recently faced a very unpleasant series of four defeats, but in the final two meetings she celebrated success.
On their ice, the cops couldn't cope with Columbus (3:7) and lost to Winnipeg (1:2) on the road, after which, in a hard fight, they dealt with Minnesota (3:2 OT) and took an excellent revenge on the uniforms, literally defeating them with a score of 4:0. That's why at home Peter Laviolette's team returned to the arena in a great mood and is certainly ready to continue winning. By the way, in the last match, for the first time in a long time, the goalkeeper, Igor Shesterkin, played perfectly, who parried a total of 21 shots.
It is worth mentioning that New York usually prefers to play outdoor hockey, which is why there are about three goals in the net on average. At the same time, the team is well outnumbered and currently has 82.5% neutralization.
Disqualifications and injuries
Edstrom and Kaliev will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The Rangers receive an average of 8.27 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Rangers win 53.5% of face-offs

Edmonton Oilers

Current form
Edmonton is steadily staying in the playoff zone and is now in the sixth position of the Western Conference. The team is used to pleasing fans with great winning streaks, but over the past month it has not been able to win even more than two victories in a row. In addition, she often has performance problems and scores few goals, which is not typical for her at all.
Earlier, the Oilers, of course, beat Dallas (5:4), but subsequently lost on the road to Buffalo (2:3) and New Jersey (2:3). Fortunately, in the last confrontation with the Islanders, the Oilers came to their senses and celebrated Victory with a score of 2:1 in overtime. That match turned out to be incredibly successful for Leon Draisaitl, who scored a wonderful double. However, once again the club was left with only two goals scored, which cannot but alarm their fans.
Nevertheless, Chris Nobloch's team still enjoys a great numerical advantage and currently has 26.1% of excess sales, making it fifth in the league in this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Frederik, Ekholm, Kane and Klingberg will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Edmonton gets an average of 6.52 minutes of penalty time per game.
- Edmonton wins according to statistics 51.2% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.95The 3rd periodrate: The hosts will score
In three out of five matches, the hosts scored goals in the third period.
1.47Tip and bets
In our opinion, the Rangers can even count on two points in this confrontation, and we would not consider them outsiders. Edmonton holds a long away series of matches, during which it experiences various problems and does not perform particularly well. Plus, the oilmen had previously left behind a lot of forces. The cops returned to the home arena in a great mood and had previously usually gone undefeated in regular time, so we suggest betting that they will not concede within 60 minutes this time either.
Prediction - The Rangers won't lose in 1.77
Betting on an individual total
Edmonton has been mediocre in previous meetings and has not scored more than one or two goals. The Rangers, in turn, were completely without goals in the last game against Columbus. In general, the hosts have conceded very little lately and have skillfully neutralized most of the threats at their gates. Based on this, it makes sense to put on an individual total of guests.
We take Edmonton's individual total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.65
Bet on the total total
Recent meetings with both the Rangers and Edmonton have been pretty grassroots and often took place with fewer than six goals scored. The teams are unlikely to force events and test each other's strength in the upcoming match. They are more likely to prefer to play more indoor hockey after intense matches the day before.
We bet on a total of less than 6.5 pucks for 1.65
