LiontipsBoston vs. Rangers. NHL Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Boston failed to achieve what they wanted in the previous season and finished their performance at the quarterfinal stage. Let us recall that the team met Florida there and lost with a score of 2:4. The club is very dependent on leaders in the persons of Marchand and Pastrnak, and without them the Bruins score very little. It is important to note that the news recently appeared about a potential contract extension with head coach Jim Montgomery, who, according to the management, has done a good job over the past two seasons.
Interesting trends for betting
- Boston had a 22.2% power play percentage last season.
- The Bruins averaged at least three goals per game.
Current form
The Rangers are improving year after year, but they still can't reach their main goal and win the Stanley Cup. The team was ready to achieve this last season and had a great regular season, but only reached the semifinals, where they lost to the same Florida in a tough fight. Until that moment, no serious transfers were observed. It is quite possible that the Cops have retained the "backbone" of the team and are ready to move forward with such a roster. Peter Laviolette also remains as head coach, so the team will continue to try to play pragmatic hockey.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the "cops" score about three to four goals per match
- Statistically, the Rangers make 20 hits per game.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total under 1.5 goals

1.67Tip and bets
We think that the Rangers look preferable to their opponents in terms of roster. Even if they put out a less than optimal roster for the upcoming match, they will still have a lot of chances for success. Also, do not forget that the last face-to-face matches have consistently ended in favor of the "cops".
Prediction - Rangers win with handicap (0) for 1.85
