Command Analysis

Florida Panthers

Current form
Florida is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and has earned a combined 98 points. The current Stanley Cup winner clearly wants to prove himself at his best this season, so he needs to play the remaining regular season matches at a high level and try to get even to third place, from which he is separated by just a couple of points.
It should be noted that at the beginning of the month, the Panthers experienced a lot of problems and were on a long series of five defeats, but subsequently pulled themselves together and won three victories in a row. So, after an unsuccessful match against Detroit (1:2), they returned to their ice, where they dealt with Toronto (3:1), the same Detroit (4:1), and also in a stubborn struggle proved their superiority over Buffalo with a score of 3:2 in shootouts.
It is noteworthy that in the previous four meetings, the Panthers managed with the minimum number of goals conceded. There was also a perfect game performed by goalkeepers in the person of Vitek Vanechek and Sergey Bobrovsky. In general, Maurice's team plays stronger on the home court than on the road, and often does not allow opponents to score three times.

New York Rangers

Current form
The Rangers have completely failed this season. Probably, at the start of the championship, no one could have expected that the team would eventually be unable to participate in the Stanley Cup and would occupy the 12th place in the Eastern Conference just a couple of matches before the end of the championship. At the same time, the cops continue to show poor results and have suffered four failures in five fights.
They defeated New Jersey (0:4) and Tampa (1:5), and after losing to Philadelphia (5:8), they defeated Buffalo (9:2) on the road, but subsequently lost heavily to Carolina with a score of 3:7. Thus, recently There were almost always at least four or five goals in the New York goal net. And the problem lies not only in the fact that the Rangers are weak in defense, since Igor Shesterkin is now far from optimal shape and makes a lot of mistakes in his place.
Despite this, Peter Laviolette's team still looks very good in the minority and currently has 80.3% neutralization of the majority of the opponent, taking 11th place in the championship in this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Edstrom, Kaliev and Schneider will not play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, the Rangers make 29 shots on target.
- Cops win 53.5% of face-offs

In our opinion, Florida should please its fans and get two points in this confrontation. The Panthers have looked significantly better than their counterpart lately, and it's no coincidence that they're currently on a three-game winning streak, while the Rangers have suffered four defeats in five matches. Previous matches between the clubs this season have also been exclusively in favor of the home team. Based on this, we take their victory.
Betting Tip - Florida's victory in 2.05
Betting on an individual total
Florida concedes very little in home matches and usually does not allow opponents to score more than once or twice. So, in the last three meetings, the Panthers were left with less than three goals conceded, and the goalkeepers did a great job with their duties. The Rangers had scored little in the previous four out of five games against the Panthers, too.
We're betting on the Rangers' individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.82
Bet on the total total
In the upcoming match, we would not expect a large number of goals scored. Florida is already gradually rebuilding for the playoffs, so it plays quite indoor hockey. All recent matches with her participation took place with a small number of goals and ended with a total of less. It is likely that in this confrontation, the hosts will also dictate their terms, so the game will be ineffective.
We take a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.00
