LiontipsVegas vs Rangers. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 8, 2022).
Command Analysis
Vegas played the last four games away from home. They suffered a bitter defeat to Pittsburgh (3:4) - the VGK were in the lead, but conceded two goals in the third period. The Golden Knights had problems against Columbus and Boston, as well, but managed to snatch out two victories in penalty shootouts (3:2 and 4:3, respectively).
The Rangers are in poor form. They managed to break their three-game losing streak and beat Ottawa (3:1), but in the second game against the Senators they lost in overtime (2:3 ОТ). After that, the Cops hosted Chicago and got crushed (2:5). Goalie Halak saved only 80% of the shots he faced. In the last game, New York eked out a win against St. Louis (6:4).

Tip and bets
Vegas are not destroying every team they face any more, but they still earn points in most games, both at home and away. The Rangers aren't on top form and we don't believe they will be able to create problems for the Golden Knights.
Our prediction - Vegas to win
Vegas are solid on defense and rarely concede large numbers of goals. They should be able to withhold the Rangers' attack. We do not expect a barn-burner here and recommend taking the under.
Second bet - total under 6.5 goals
