Listen
At Madison Square Garden on October 12, the Rangers will try to improve immediately after their defeat in Washington. However, the main event of that match was not the result, but Shesterkin's serious injury. Vancouver is also not in the best shape and has just lost the second match in a row on the road. In our betting tip, we evaluate the latest problems of the teams and choose a bet
Command Analysis
New York Rangers
The Rangers had a great start and won four of their six matches. The four-game winning streak turned out to be particularly good, in which the New Yorkers beat Tampa, Utah and the Islanders. Only Washington was able to stop them - 1:3.
But now the owners have a huge problem. Igor Shesterkin suffered a lower body injury in Washington and is out for the rest of the season. Backup Joonas Korpisalo is also injured, so Dylan Garand becomes the main goalkeeper. This seriously changes the situation, although the difference in class is still noticeable against Vancouver itself.
Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver has only two wins in six meetings so far, and the current trip has started as unpleasantly as possible. First, the Canadians got 2-7 from Carolina, then they came to New Jersey and lost 1-4. During these two matches, the team conceded 11 goals.
Vancouver was even the first to open the scoring against the Devils, but then conceded three times in the minority. Linus Karlsson scored the only goal for the visitors. Moreover, this match was only the beginning of a six-match away series, and a day later you have to go on the ice at Madison Square Garden.
The loss of Shesterkin is, of course, huge and cannot be completely ignored. The Rangers will have to rebuild on the move, and the young Garand now gets a completely different responsibility. But the opponent for the first match without the main goalkeeper is quite suitable. Vancouver has lost twice in a row with a total score of 3:11, makes a lot of mistakes in its zone and holds the second match in a short time. The Rangers looked much more stable before their trip to Washington and played especially confidently at home. Offensively, the team has enough quality not to force the new goalkeeper to win the match on his own. If the hosts make a good start and force a tired opponent to defend a lot again, the advantage should gradually manifest itself. Therefore, we remain on the side of New York here.
