Command Analysis
San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
The Sharks started poorly this season and did not show a strong hockey level throughout the regular season. San Jose is in last place in the conference table and division, having scored only 39 points in 71 matches. Ryan Warfowski's team can bypass Chicago, but they will not rise above 15th place. The Sharks came home in the first half of the month and have already played seven matches on their ice and won three of them. Before the match against the Cops, the hosts beat Boston (3:1) and Toronto (6:5, B).
San Jose has not demonstrated defensive reliability throughout the season and is conceding an average of 3.72 goals per game. The team from California is constantly changing goalkeepers, and Alexander Georgiev has become the main goalkeeper. The Russian blocked only 87.69% of shots and did not make a single shutout in 25 matches. Yaroslav Askarov remains his replacement for now.
Disqualifications and injuries
Yaroslav Askarov, Henri Troon, Logan Couture and Jan Rutta will not play against the cops. Mark Vlasic has not confirmed his status.
Interesting betting trends
- San Jose throws 27 times per game on average
- Sharks earn 8.39 penalty minutes per game
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
New York had a great start to the season and was among the leaders of the conference, but at the end of last year, the guests began to decline, which lasted more than a month. The Rangers ruined their position in the East, dropped out of the top eight and ended up at the bottom of the table. Now they are trying to rectify the situation and reach the playoffs, but so far they are only in tenth place with 75 points after 73 matches. Peter Laviolette's men have the same number of points as their competitors, but the cops have played more matches. The Blue Shirts started the trip with defeats from Los Angeles (1:3) and Anaheim (4:5, OT).
In the previous four games, the New York team had conceded 14 goals and was not good in its own half of the court. Recently re-signed Igor Shesterkin has become the highest-paid Russian player in the NHL, but so far he has not justified his high status. The goalkeeper managed only 90.62% of shots and made five shutouts this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adam Edstrom, Artur Kaliev and Matt Rempe are on the injured list for the visitors.
Interesting betting trends
- Cops block 15 shots per meeting
- New York wins 53.5% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks

2.00Bet 2nd period: New York will score
New York has scored in the second period in the last four games.
1.35Tip and bets
San Jose does not have a serious tournament motivation at the end of the season, but now the Californians are in good shape and have won the last two games. The Rangers really need an away win, and the Cops may well miss the playoffs if they don't start playing more consistently. Peter Laviolette's men handled their opponent at home with some confidence in November. We think that the New York team will be stronger now. We suggest betting on the victory of the second in regular time.
Our betting tip is a Rangers victory in 1.94
Betting on an individual total
San Jose plays poorly defensively throughout the regular season and concedes 3.72 goals per match. The Rangers don't score that much, but they have some very strong strikers who are able to single-handedly deal with the sharks' defense. The guests will play number one and, in our opinion, they will score at least three or four goals without any problems.
The betting tip is the Rangers' individual total of more than three goals in 1.70
Bet on the total
The teams have had only one really effective match since 2019, but now they can give a spectacular match. The Rangers concede a lot, but they have to score a lot against the league's weakest team in terms of defense. We are waiting for hockey on the opposite courses and we believe that the hockey players will be able to distinguish themselves with at least six accurate shots for two.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.70
