Columbus Rangers: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Columbus played four matches on the road, but showed his best side in only one of them. The team played away to the Rangers, where they unexpectedly showed all their attacking potential, which allowed them to defeat the cops with a score of 7:3. Many players distinguished themselves with effective actions, but in particular it is worth noting the striker Fantilli, who scored a hat-trick. However, it turned out to be impossible to consolidate the success of the Blue Jackets, and in the very next match there were huge problems in defense, which eventually led to a defeat against New Jersey (3:5). Goalkeeper Merzlikin did not cope with his main task, reflecting only 82% of shots.

Returning to the home arena, the jackets had to fight a clear favorite in the face of Vegas. The team created quite a few dangerous moments in the opponent's zone, but difficulties arose with their implementation. None of the 27 shots reached the target, and had to suffer a dry defeat (0-4). Once again, Merzlikin did not play reliably enough and could not save the club from failure. Despite the long decline, Columbus still remains in the playoff zone, occupying the eighth place in the Eastern Conference table and having 70 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Columbus has serious problems with the composition. There are five players in the infirmary at once: Christiansen, Gudbranson, Labanc, Monahan and Sillinger.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Columbus concedes 3.3 goals per match.
• The jackets average 28 shots per match.

Current form

The Rangers had been on the decline for a long time and could not achieve the desired result, and the series of defeats reached four matches in a row. However, it is worth noting that in almost every match, the cops imposed a decent fight on their competitors and were only one step away from success twice, but lost in overtime to Washington (2:3) and Ottawa (3:4). The team played the worst at home, where they faced Columbus and were defeated 3-7. Goalkeeper Quick made a lot of mistakes and reflected only 75% of the shots.

Nevertheless, the band was able to interrupt this series of failures by performing at a party in Minnesota. The Rangers took advantage of the opponent's weak form, pulling out heavy Victoria in overtime (3:2). Everything was heading for a confident victory for the team in regular time, but the Wild took advantage of their numerical superiority, scoring two goals in the final stretch, which created additional problems for New York. It is worth noting that at the moment the club occupies only the ninth place in the Eastern Conference table.
