LiontipsCarolina Hurricanes - New York Rangers: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Karolina has shown consistent results throughout the season and has only recently begun to perform poorly. Fortunately, her position in the standings has not been affected so much so far. Let's remind that at the moment it is on the third line of the Eastern Conference and is already three points behind the second place.
The Hurricanes would have continued to hold the second position under their control, if not for a terrible series of defeats that overtook them at the wrong moment. So, on the road they lost to Detroit (3:5), Boston (1:5) and Buffalo (0:3), and in the final confrontation with Washington they had every chance of a favorable outcome for themselves and even brought the matter to a shootout, but luck was still not on their side - 4:5 B. It is noteworthy that in the match with the Capitals, Rod Brindamore's squad had a comfortable two-goal advantage already in the opening period, but they handled it very poorly.
This is completely unusual for Caroline, because she usually knows how to bring things to a victorious end in such situations. However, in recent matches, she has often shown mediocre defensive play, which has caused her a lot of problems.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kotkaniemi, Carrie and Fast will not play in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Karolina conducts 17 strength techniques.
- Carolina wins 52.8% of face-offs
Current form
The Rangers have already lost their chance of making the playoffs. The team ended up on the tenth line of the Eastern Conference and earned a total of 81 points. Throughout the season, she was not particularly stable and often faced long series of defeats, so this outcome was quite expected, but definitely unpredictable before the start of the season.
In previous fights, the cops were also very often inferior. They suffered three defeats in a row and lost to New Jersey (0-4), Tampa (1-5) and even lost at home to Philadelphia with a score of 5:8. Despite this, they did something incredible in the last away match and literally defeated the Islanders 9-2, with Artemi Panarin and Brett Berard scoring doubles in that game. It should be noted that this has not happened to Peter Laviolette's team this season.
Plus, Igor Shesterkin also played reliably, who managed to parry 44 shots in total. However, usually the team itself does not have a strong and reliable defensive game, and there are at least three goals in its goal net, so the last match is rather an exception to the rule.
Disqualifications and injuries
Edstrom, Kaliev and Miller will miss the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, cops land 28 shots.
- New York wins 53.6% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In four out of five matches with the participation of the hosts, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.88The bet of the 2nd period: the victory of the hosts
In the last four face-to-face meetings, the hosts have reserved the second leg for themselves.
2.10Tip and bets
We think that Carolina should take two points in this matchup. She reserved all previous head-to-head matches this season against the Rangers for herself and achieved success often with a difference of several goals. The cops, with the exception of the last match with the Islanders, performed poorly. The Hurricanes were close to ending a series of setbacks in their last meeting with Lice, so we think they will do it on their own ice.
Prediction - Carolina's victory in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
After a series of failed matches, Carolina will certainly try to act as reliably as possible in her zone and avoid making many mistakes at her own goal. The Rangers, as a rule, score little in matches against similar opponents. That's why even in the last confrontation, the cops failed to score a single goal against the Hurricanes.
We're betting on the Rangers' individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
The last matches between the clubs were not very productive. Karolina prefers to play in a more conservative style, especially when she goes through a long series of failures. The Rangers are also adjusting to their rivals, so they are unlikely to force things. The two previous head-to-head matches were completely over with only four goals scored, and in this case it makes sense to bet less on the total.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.98
