Seattle vs. Rangers: NHL Match Prediction
Seattle will play at home again on November 18 as part of the NHL regular season. The Krakens will host a pretty serious opponent in the form of the Rangers. Will the home team be able to continue their winning streak? Our experts answered this question and many others in the forecast, where they also selected the best bets at the moment
Command Analysis
Seattle Kraken
USACurrent form
Seattle continues its home series, which has already reached four games, and it can be considered successful, as it managed to win over all opponents. Remarkably, serious problems arose only in the first match with Vegas, in which it was possible to snatch a victory with great difficulty in overtime (4:3). The Krakens should have won in regulation time, but they missed a puck in the last minutes, which allowed the Golden Knights to cling to one point. Then the Krakens played with Columbus and this time left no chance, defeating the Blue Jackets with a score of 5:2. In particular, it is worth praising forwards Eberle and McCann, who scored two points each.
Continuing to play at home, the team met with another clear outsider in the person of Chicago and this time also did not meet serious resistance, winning another confident victory (3:1). The defensive line showed an excellent game, which allowed the Hawks to make only 19 shots on goal. Seattle earned its fourth victory in a row in a duel with the Islanders, snatching a victory with a difference of one puck (4:3). Thanks to the points earned, the club has already approached the playoff zone and is currently in ninth place, and the gap to the nearest competitor is only one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Seattle continues to play without defenseman Dan and forward Eberle. All other players remain in action.
Interesting trends for betting
- Seattle averages three goals per game
The Krakens continue to show very productive play this season.
- The team converted only 16% of its power play attempts.
Despite active and productive play in attack, the team rarely takes advantage of opponents' penalties.
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers have not been in the best shape lately, as they periodically suffer defeats from opponents of their level. The team unsuccessfully ended a three-game home series, suffering a 1:6 defeat from Buffalo. Goaltender Shesterkin showed a terrible game, who was replaced only after the fifth missed puck. Then the club went to play on the road, where they were able to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans, leaving no chance for Detroit (4:0). Once again, the club most productive forward Panarin showed a magnificent game. Goaltender Quick also showed himself, stopping 37 shots, thereby recording a "shutout".
Returning to the home arena, they had to fight the leader of the Western Conference, Winnipeg, and suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 3:6. Once again, the coaching staff decided to put Shesterkin in goal, but he again did not justify the trust, reflecting only 84% of the shots. The attack line tried its best to correct the situation and created constant pressure on the Jets, but there were problems with the implementation of moments in the attack. The Cops were able to regain the lost points in a match with a less serious competitor, beating San Jose in regular time (3:2). It is worth noting that at the moment, the Rangers are in sixth place in the standings, but have played much fewer matches than the leaders, which means they have every chance to fight for the first position in the East.
Disqualifications and injuries
It can be said that the Rangers have no problems with the roster. Only forward Chytil is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, the "cops" concede only 2.5 goals per match
The Rangers are known for their very solid defensive play and rarely allow their opponents to realize their attacking potential.
- On average, New York takes 31 shots per game.
The club very active attacking play allows it to consistently score a large number of goals.
Trends
Bet First Goal: Rangers
In four of the six head-to-head games, the Rangers have opened the scoring
1.71Goal in each period bet - yes
In five out of six head-to-head matches, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.50Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, bookmakers highlight the Rangers as a clear favorite and give a very high coefficient for the victory of Seattle, but using it is quite risky, for which there are several reasons. Firstly, the Rangers are superior to their competitor in all respects, which they have repeatedly proven in face-to-face matches. Secondly, it should be taken into account that the Cops show an excellent game on the road, where they have almost never lost this season. The Krakens, in turn, consistently have problems in matches with very strong competitors, and this meeting will not be an exception.
Our prediction is Rangers win at 1.93
Bet on total
The Rangers are clearly not going to sit back in defense and will try to show their full attacking potential in the upcoming match. Seattle will have to play on the opposite courses if it wants to cling to points. So, as a second bet, it is worth choosing the total over.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on the outcome of the first period
In the first period, Seattle, due to the home advantage, can still give a worthy rebuff to the Rangers. We believe that the Krakens will not lose in the opening period.
Prediction - Seattle will not lose in the first period for 1.50
