LiontipsBoston vs Rangers. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 8, 2021).
Command Analysis
Boston have significantly improved their results in the second half of the season and have started winning often. That helped the team to overtake the Islanders, and now they are third in the standings with a total of 71 points. The Bruins have been successful in their last five games of six, losing only to New Jersey in overtime (3:4 OT).
Already in the following game, they destroyed the Rangers at home with a score of 4:0 and did not allow their opponents to do anything in attack. By the way, Jeremy Swayman tended the goal and stopped all 15 shots - little work for the goalie.
The Rangers have lost their chances of making the playoffs a long time ago. Moreover, now they have big problems in the squad; in one of the recent fixtures, they lost Artemy Panarin. Fortunately, the team has only one game left this season, and after that, the Rangers will go on a well-deserved vacation.
We would like to emphasize that the Cops lost in the last five games while looking dreadful in defense. They conceded at least four goals per game, and in three out of five games couldn't score themselves. David Quinn's charges probably are in a very bad mood right now.

Ставка2nd Period: Boston To Score

Tip and bets
In our opinion, Boston will once again defeat the Rangers. The Cops are in terrible form and have been beaten in five games in a row, conceding at least four goals in every one of them. Plus, they play without Artemy Panarin, and this affects their creativity in attack.
Our prediction is Boston to win.
All recent games between these teams were low-scoring. At home, the Bruins play very well in defense, and the Cops couldn't score even one goal in three out of five previous fixtures. Based on this, we suggest betting on total under.
Second wager -total under 5.5 goals.
