Rangers - Toronto: NHL match betting tip
As part of the NHL championship, a meeting between the Rangers and Toronto will take place on March 21, for which we will try to provide an accurate betting tip.

The leafs, in turn, had previously had very unstable results, but they reserved the last match against the home team a couple of months ago. What kind of bet should I place? You will learn more about this later

Command Analysis

New York Rangers

Current form
The Rangers continue to show very unstable results, which is why they cannot fully gain a foothold in the playoff zone. The team is currently in ninth position in the Eastern Conference and is once again just one point behind the top eight. It is noteworthy that she does not manage to win more than one or two victories in a row, and lately she has been losing quite a lot of points.
After successful away matches against Minnesota (3-2 OT) and Columbus (4-0), the cops returned to their home arena, where they first lost to Edmonton (1-3), and then lost to Calgary (1-2). Oddly enough, in both previous matches, Peter Laviolette's team showed a weak offensive game and could not open the opponents' defense more than once. In the last meeting with the lights, he landed only 13 shots, so he lost absolutely to the point.
Such instability has plagued New York throughout the season, which will make it very difficult for it to make the playoffs. Moreover, do not forget that the Rangers do not play perfectly in defense either, on average conceding about three goals per match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Artur Kaliev and Adam Edstrom will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The Rangers receive 8.26 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Cops win 53.5% of face-offs

Toronto Maple Leafs

Current form
Toronto is located on the fourth line of the Eastern Conference and does not intend to worsen its position in the standings. The team is consistently in the top five and definitely does not want to stop there. However, there is still some instability in her results, and since the beginning of this month she has not been able to win more than two victories in a row.
By the way, the leafs have just completed a long series of home matches, in which they lost to Florida (2:3) and Ottawa (2:4), but after that they proved their superiority over Calgary (6:2), and also beat Colorado with a score of 2:1 in a stubborn struggle the day before. The curious fact is the fact is that in the last match with the avalanches, they scored both goals in unequal formations - Matthews scored in the majority, and Lorenz scored the decisive goal in the 4x5 format.
If we talk about the Leafs' game on the road, they are clearly more relaxed than on their own ice, and on average they differ in no less than three goals scored, but they concede about the same amount in return.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yani Hakanpaa and Max Pacioretty will not be able to help the team in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Toronto gets 7.69 minutes of penalty time per match.
- Toronto wins an average of 53.9% of face-offs.

1.52Tip and bets
In our opinion, Toronto definitely cannot be considered an outsider in this confrontation. The Leafs looked no worse than their counterparts in previous matches, and they went to this away series in a great mood, as they completed the last two matches in their favor. The Rangers, in turn, had previously played two games in a row unsuccessfully. In addition, the last confrontation between the clubs ended with a 3-2 victory for the Leafs.
Betting Tip - Toronto won't lose in 1.67
Betting on an individual total
Toronto prefers to play more open hockey on the road than on its own ice, which means it has at least three goals scored on average. The Leafs have a powerful offensive line and create a lot of dangerous chances at other people's goal. The Rangers have been having difficulty playing defense throughout the season and have conceded at least three times in three out of five meetings against the Leafs.
We're betting on Toronto's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the total total
Fights with the participation of guests are often spectacular and take place with more than five goals scored. The team often neglects to be careful in defense and tries to score as many goals on its own. The Rangers also open up against similar opponents and play on the counterattack, so it is likely that we will see at least six goals in this confrontation.
We take a total of more than 5.5 goals for 1.80
