Columbus Rangers: betting tip (cf. 1.65) and bets on the NHL match

The start of the regular season for Columbus turned out to be quite controversial. Rick Bowness' team started with a crushing victory over Buffalo (6-3), but then lost to Utah (1-4). After that, we managed to beat Pittsburgh by shootout (3:2), but the trip to St. Louis again ended in failure (3:5). In general, stability is still clearly lacking, especially when you have to play against strong attacks.

The last home meeting with Florida turned into a real nightmare. Columbus conceded seven goals and lost 3-7, with the main problems occurring in the second period. Brady Tkachuk scored a natural hat-trick in just over eight minutes, and his opponent scored four out of six. Kent Johnson, Denton Mateychuk and Cole Sillinger scored for the hosts. At the same time, Cam Talbo had to be replaced already in the third period after six goals were conceded. The defense continues to leave too much free space near the goal.

Things were going pretty well for the Rangers until recently. Even after Igor Shesterkin's serious injury, Mike Sullivan's team continued to win. The New Yorkers looked especially confident against Vancouver (6:2) and Tampa Bay (4:1). Alexis Lafreniere was in great shape, and young goalkeeper Dylan Garand regularly helped his teammates maintain their advantage.

But in Newark, everything suddenly fell apart. The Rangers lost to New Jersey with a score of 1:7, and by the fifth minute of the second period they were losing 0:4. Garand missed four goals after 13 shots on target and went to the bench, but Spencer Martin also failed to stop the opponent. Pavel Dorofeev scored the only goal in the majority. It's especially frustrating that the New Yorkers created almost nothing in front, limiting themselves to 19 shots in the entire meeting. Now the team needs to prove that this failure was an accident.
