LiontipsRangers vs Columbus. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
The New York Rangers got off to a good start and have already secured four victories. However, all of these victories were recorded away from home, and the Rangers are yet to win in New York this season. After beating Nashville (3:1) and Ottawa (3:2), the Rangers lost at home to Calgary (1:5).
Gerard Gallant's charges try to control the possession of the puck, but they do not open up and their strong offensive line haven't yet scored more than three goals in one game.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have already earned eight points, but they lack consistency. The Jackets lost to Detroit (1:4) and then outplayed the Islanders at home (3: 2 OT). After losing to Carolina (1:5), they celebrated success against Dallas (4:1). The Blue Jackets usually do well against the teams that struggle to convert their scoring chances.
The Blue Jackets themselves cannot rely on their attacking line, as they practically don't have leaders in it. Patrik Laine has been solid for Columbus, but their system gives him little freedom on the court.

Tip and bets
Columbus are demonstrating confident play and we do not consider them clear outsiders in this fixture. The Blue Jackets have quite easily defeated similar opponents this season, and we think they will be able to get a victory here.
Our prediction - Columbus to win with an Asian handicap (+1)
Neither side plays attacking hockey this season, so we do not expect a high-scoring game. The Rangers and the Jackets play reliably on the defensive and try to keep posession, but do not score a lot.
Second wager - total under 5.5 goals
