LiontipsNew Jersey vs Rangers. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (March 23, 2022).
Command Analysis
New Jersey sit in second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference table. The Devils have been inconsistent throughout the season and lost too many points. They often failed to put up a fight even against other outsiders.
In the last three games, the Devils lost to Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton with the same score of 3:6. Thus, in total, the Devils allowed 18 goals in three games. Today's hosts have one of the worst defenses in the NHL and on average they end up conceding three or four goals per game.
The Rangers have significantly improved their performance under Gerard Gallant. In particular, the Cops' defense became more reliable and they act more confidently in their zone. Goalie Igor Shesterkin is having a fantastic season.
New York celebrated success against the leaders of the East, Tampa (2:1) and Carolina (2:0), before losing to their cross-town rivals the Islanders. We expect them to bounce back and deliver a solid performance against the Devils.
