Los Angeles - Rangers: NHL match betting tip
Los Angeles and the Rangers will compete for two points on March 26 in California. The Kings are in crazy shape and ready to fight for leadership in the Pacific Division. The cops intend to correct the mistakes of the end of last year, but so far they are not even among the top eight clubs in their conference. In December, Jim Hiller's men didn't give the Blue Shirts a chance. How will it be this time? This is stated in the betting tip for the confrontation
Command Analysis
Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles didn't have the most successful stretches during the current season, but now Jim Hiller's team has gained excellent form and has risen to fifth place in the conference. The Kings beat Edmonton in the Pacific Division table, scoring 87 points in 69 starts. They can still reach Vegas, which is now five points away and has played one more match. The Kings are playing great in the second half of March. They won eight out of nine games, losing only on the road in Minneapolis (1:3).
The hosts haven't been playing as much offensively this season, but now the Los Angeles offense is in its best shape. Ange Kopitar's squad scored 17 goals in the last three games and simply destroyed the opponents' defenders. Adrian Kempe continues to prove that he is a great master. The Swede scored 58 points (29+29).

New York Rangers
USACurrent form
New York had a great start to the season, but gradually slipped and settled in the bottom half of the conference table. The Rangers started to make amends with the start of the new year, but they're still only tenth in the East right now. The team led by Peter Laviolette scored 74 points in 71 meetings and is just one point behind Montreal, which closes the top eight. The cops are having a very bad March and have only won three of their last ten matches so far. The Blue Shirts ended their unsuccessful home series with a 5-3 victory over Vancouver.
The New York club is weak in defense during this stretch of the regular season. In the last four games alone, they conceded 12 times, while on average the red light outside the Rangers' goal lights up exactly three times per match. Igor Shesterkin remains the club's number one, but he has deflected only 90.68% of shots. The Russian made five shutouts in 53 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adam Edstrom and Artur Kaliev will not be able to help their partners in the match against the Kings.
Interesting betting trends
- New York Wins 53.3% of face-offs this season
- Cops earn 8.23 minutes of penalty time per duel

1.43Tip and bets
Los Angeles is very good and is in perhaps the best shape this season right now. Jim Hiller's men have never scored so many goals over a long distance before, and this spring they have significantly improved their position in the conference table. The Rangers looked pretty weak in New York and barely beat Vancouver in the last match on their ice. In December, Ange Kopitar's squad defeated their opponent on the road, and they play much stronger at home than away. We're betting on the Kings winning in regular time.
Our prediction is that Los Angeles will win in 1.98
Betting on an individual total
Los Angeles is playing great on offense at this point in the season. In the last three matches alone, the Kings scored 17 times, while they consistently scored more goals in March. The Rangers are not the best defensively, and Igor Shesterkin rarely helps out the guests. We are waiting for at least three accurate shots from the Kings.
Prediction - Los Angeles' individual total is over 2.5 goals in 1.65
Bet on the total
The Kings rarely play effectively, but in recent games they have shown excellent execution of moments. The Rangers have someone to score against, but now Peter Laviolette's players are very weak on their side of the ice. We do not think that one of the sides will sit on the defensive and believe in at least six accurate hits between the two.
Betting Tip - total more than five goals in 1.70
