Winnipeg Jets vs New York Rangers: The Rangers seem preferable

Prediction for the NHL Winnipeg Jets vs New York Rangers match, which will take place on March 7. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Winnipeg can boast only wins over Arizona (5:3) and Montreal (8:4) in its last five games. In the other three games, the team suffered defeats against Colorado and twice against Dallas. The Jets don't have much of a chance of making the playoffs. They are currently in sixth place in the Central Division, seven points behind fifth-place Dallas.

The Rangers can already start preparing for the playoffs. The team is well placed in the top 4 of the Metropolitan Division, 16 points ahead of fifth-placed Columbus. The Rangers are not in great shape for their matchup with the Jets. After two straight defeats (to Pittsburgh and Vancouver), they beat St Louis by two goals and then New Jersey 3:1.

In this pairing, we have more sympathy for the New Yorkers. The Rangers are outclassed by their upcoming rival and should have no trouble adding two points to their record. Winnipeg is already unlikely to make the playoffs, so they're just playing out the season without meaningful motivation. All in all, we suggest playing for an eventual victory for the second team. Prediction: Rangers win the match.
