The Rangers still managed to cope with another slump and started steadily earning points again. They managed to break a series of defeats from six matches on the home arena, defeating far from the most serious opponent in the face of Chicago (6:1). In particular, it is worth praising striker Miller, who scored the puck and provided two assists. Next, the cops hosted Florida and again conceded only one goal, winning with a score of 3:1. Goalkeeper Shesterkin played well, deflecting 96% of shots. However, the points scored did not affect the club's position in any way, it remains on the last line in the Eastern Conference table, unable to compete for entry into the playoffs.
New Jersey unsuccessfully completed its away series. In the final match, the team had to fight the leader of the Eastern Conference in the person of Carolina and suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 2:5. The Devils opened the scoring in the first period, but in the second twenty minutes they allowed the opponent not only to even the score, but also to earn a significant advantage. The defensive line played poorly, allowing the hurricanes to easily enter the zone and make a huge number of shots. As expected, the club was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans by returning to its home arena, where it won a convincing 5-3 victory over Chicago. Striker Hughes played superbly, scoring a double and giving two assists.
Yes, the Rangers were able to score two victories over far from the most serious opponents, but we would not expect another success from the team in the upcoming match. Cops perform very unstably and even with the support of their native stands often suffer crushing defeats. The Devils are in optimal shape and very motivated, as they still retain the opportunity to compete for the playoffs. We believe that the devils will not miss the opportunity to earn extra points, so we are betting in their favor.
Our prediction is that New Jersey will win the match in 1.84
The Totalbetis more than 7.5 pucks
In three face-to-face matches out of four, the teams scored more than seven goals.
Рangers на протяжении последних нескольких встреч не могут справиться с проблемами в обороне, что привело к четырем поражениям подряд. Нью-Джерси же продолжает набирать очки и находит путь к успеху даже в гостевых встречах, что подтверждает их уверенность. Сегодняшний поединок в Madison Square Garden покажет, смогут ли Рейнджеры собраться и прервать свою серию неудач.
