Seattle vs. Rangers. NHL Match Prediction and Bets

Current 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.

Current 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.
