LiontipsFlorida vs Rangers. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
Floridawere the leaders in the East not so long ago, but currently they are 6th in the standings. The Panthers suffered three defeats in a row, failing to score a single point. First, they lost to Colorado (2:3) away, and after that they were crushed by Ottawa (2:8) and Los Angeles (1:4) at home.
Hopefully, a short break allowed Brunette's charges to find balance, and we are looking forward to seeing beautiful attacking hockey from the Panthers. The hosts will be playing without Weegar and Luostarinen, but Barkov is back in the ranks.
The Rangersare 5th in the East, two points ahead of their hosts. New York were on a long winning streak, but they lost three of their last four games. The Rangers suffered a narrow defeat to Nashville (0:1), lost to Colorado (2:4), and after a hard-earned victory over Arizona (3:2) they yielded to Vegas (2:3 SO).
All the key players of the Rangers will play against the Panthers, but Igor Shesterkin is still a doubt due to COVID protocol. We would like to remind you, that Gallant's men lost only four away games in regulation this season.
