Command Analysis
The Rangers are in 8th place in the Eastern Conference standings with a total of 33 points. They suffered a dip in form at the end of November, but it looks like they have recovered - the team won the last three games. The Cops beat St. Louis at home (6:4), and Colorado (2:1 SO) and Vegas (5:1) away. This season, Gerard Gallant's team won only four home games in regulation and conceded an average of three goals per game.
New Jersey are level on points with Boston, but they sit in 2nd place. The team struggle to mount a winning streak. After two good games against Philadelphia (3:2) and Chicago (3:0), the Devils lost to the Islanders with a score of 4:6. For the first time in a while, the team conceded more than three goals. Usually, the Devils play really well on road trips and average four goals per game. Their best periods are second and third.
