Minnesota - Rangers: NHL match betting tip
Minnesota will face the Rangers on their ice on March 14. In this confrontation, the bookmakers could not determine the clear favorite and presented equal quotes. The last meeting between the clubs ended in favor of the cops with a score of 4:1, but now they are in bad shape and are on a long losing streak, so they are unlikely to be fully prepared for a duel with the savages. What is the best bet to place on this event? You will learn about this from the betting tip

Command Analysis

Minnesota Wild

Current form
Minnesota has not been showing particularly stable results throughout the season, but it is consistently among the leaders of the Western Conference. At the moment, the team has dropped to the sixth place in the Western Conference and has 78 points in its asset, which is a pretty good result for it. However, since the end of last month, the Wild has not been able to win more than two consecutive victories.
The Savages had previously defeated Seattle (4:3) on the road, lost to Vancouver (1:3), and lost to Pittsburgh (1:3) upon returning to their home arena. Nevertheless, in the final confrontation with Colorado, John Hines's team unexpectedly achieved success with a score of 2:1 in shootouts and got off with just one missed goal - Philip Gustavsson played well, parrying a total of 27 shots.
It is noteworthy that Minnesota still has a long home series of matches ahead, although it is not playing as well on its ice this season as it is away. So, for all the time she managed to win only 11 victories within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brodin, Eriksson Ek and Kaprizov will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota has a 67:75 ratio in scoring and missed goals in the third period.
- Minnesota statistically wins 47% of face-offs.

New York Rangers

Current form
The Rangers are also experiencing a lot of problems this season, but not so long ago they pulled themselves together and showed decent results for a month, thanks to which they were able to slightly improve their position in the standings. However, at the moment the team is only on the tenth line of the Eastern Conference and has 68 points in its asset, and it is separated from the playoff zone by just a couple of points.
It should be noted that after two successful matches on their ice, the cops faced a series of defeats. They lost in a hard fight to Washington (2:3 OT), then lost to Ottawa (3:4 OT), and also unexpectedly lost to Columbus with a score of 3:7. In the last away game, they were able to impose a tight fight on Winnipeg, but they also couldn't cope with it and remained without a single point scored - 1:2.
At the same time, Peter Laviolette's team, on the whole, has decent results at other venues, because in almost half of the meetings he achieved Victoria in the main time. Also note that the cops' best performance remains in the third period, in which they have a 64:56 ratio in goals scored and conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Edstrom and Fox will not be able to play in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- The Rangers receive an average of 8.31 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, cops hit 29 shots on goal.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total less than 1.5 pucks
In the last match between the clubs, the first period was inconclusive.
1.85Bet 2nd period: the guests will score
In three of the four matches, the guests scored goals in the second leg.
1.52Tip and bets
In our opinion, the Rangers still look preferable to their counterpart. They retained the last match with a score of 4:1, and they are showing great results on the road this season. Minnesota does not play so well at home and rarely succeeds within the regular time. We think that after a series of unsuccessful matches, the cops should pull themselves together and earn two points.
Prediction - Rangers win with a handicap (0) in 1.98
Betting on an individual total
Minnesota has been experiencing serious performance problems lately and couldn't even score more than one dropped goal. In the last three matches, she remained with the minimum number of goals scored. The Rangers, in turn, conceded less than three times in three out of five meetings, so it makes sense to bet on the individual total of the hosts.
We take Minnesota's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings with Laviolette's squad were not particularly productive and often ended with less than six goals scored. The teams will certainly be wary of each other and will not dare to play on opposite courses in the upcoming confrontation. Plus, Minnesota also played most of the matches with a lower total.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.90
