LiontipsRangers vs Vancouver. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 9, 2023).
Command Analysis
The Rangers are in 6th place in the Eastern Conference. They are in good form and were victorious in three of the last four games. At home, they beat Vegas (4:1), and in the last game, they prevailed over Calgary (5:4 OT). For the first time in quite a long period, the Cops delivered high performance. Artemy Panarin and Mika Zibanezad are both enjoying a great season; each of them has earned more than 50 points. On the other hand, Gerard Gallant's men won only nine home games in regulation this season, and they suffered the same number of regulation-time defeats.
Vancouver have almost no chance of making it to the playoffs this season. The Canucks are 14 points behind the top eight, plus they can't mount a winning streak despite showing some exciting hockey. Before the All-Stars break, Vancouver lost to Seattle (1:6) and crushed Columbus (5:2), and after the break, they yielded to New Jersey (4:5 OT). On average, the Canucks score three to four goals per game, both at home and on their travels.

Tip and bets
Vancouver looked decent in their recent games, and in the last outing, they put up a good fight against New Jersey, who are one of the leaders in the East. The Rangers haven't been convincing, and the Canucks are an uncomfortable opponent for them. We will be backing the underdogs here.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Vancouver
On road trips, Vancouver choose to play an open brand of hockey. Usually, they score about three to four goals per game. The Rangers weren't very reliable on defense in their last game, allowing the Flames to score four goals. We believe, the Canucks will be able to deliver their usual three goals, so we recommend playing the individual total of the outsider.
Second bet - Vancouver IT over 2.5 goals
