New Jersey Devils vs New York Rangers: The Blueshirts win their ninth consecutive encounter

Prediction for the NHL New Jersey Devils vs New York Rangers match, which will take place on March 23. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

New Jersey is having another weak regular season. However, in the first half of March they beat St Louis (3:2) and Colorado (5:3), and before that they won twice in a row in early February, breaking their seven-match unbeaten streak. The Devils are in poor form, having won just one of their last five games, dropping to the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.

It almost guaranteed the Rangers a play-off spot. Under Gerard Gallant, the New York team has been producing consistent results. Curiously, they only suffered three defeats in a row once during the entire regular season. In the last five meetings, the Rangers had four wins and one defeat, which allowed them to move up to third place in the Eastern Conference standings, only five points behind the leader.

The Devils have already slumped to the penultimate place, being in bad form, while the Rangers continue to show excellent results, having already risen to the third position. Moreover, in the last eight head-to-head encounters, the Red and Black have failed to win even once. Therefore, the visitors are now the clear favourites for winning the game and you can bet on Rangers for 2.05.

The Rangers are a team with outstanding performers in the attacking group. In 63 games, they have already scored 189 goals (3.00 goals per game average). New Jersey, meanwhile, has a defensive problem, conceding 226 goals (3.65 average per game) in 62 games played. Moreover, in the previous eight games between the Red and Black, they conceded 37 goals (4.63 average per game), so we suggest betting on an individual total 2 over 3.5 for 1.93.

Chris Kreider continues to claim the title of the current regular season's best player. Auston Matthews has already scored 46 goals, but the Rangers' American forward also has a very respectable record of 41 goals in 63 games played. He's already surpassed his own record by 13 pucks, with nearly two dozen games still to come. The 30-year-old hockey player will continue to score, as he has left the ice only once in the last four games without a goal. You can bet on Chris Kreider's goal for 1.55.
