NY Rangers

Everything fell apart for the Rangers literally in a blink of an eye. The New Yorkers had occasional misfires up until the final third of November, but the overall picture was very solid, but since Nov. 20, everything has fallen apart. Over the past seven games, they have suffered six regulation-time defeats and have only one win - a 4:3 victory over Montreal. But even after that, the Rangers lost 1:5 to New Jersey. Obviously, Peter Laviolette urgently needs to change something, because the team has slipped to eighth place in the overall East standings, with 27 points.

PIT Penguins

And if the Rangers have fallen apart after a great start, Pittsburgh has exactly the opposite situation. After a terrible start to the season, the Penguins finally came to their senses, and on the eve of the game they had a streak of four straight wins. At the same time they lost to powerful opponents, as in the last meeting Florida (5:4 in overtime). These victories seriously improved the position of Mike Sullivan's wards in the overall Eastern Conference table, where they are already in tenth place with 26 points.

Expert Betting Tips

In the upcoming battle, we will avoid the outcomes. The Rangers should be insanely motivated right now - six defeats in the past seven games is just a disgrace, and they need to urgently get on a winning course. But the opponent now is strong Pittsburgh in high spirits, four consecutive victories speak for themselves. We note that the rivals are productive - in games involving the home team this campaign the average number of goals scored is 6.0, while with the visitors it is 6.4. Opponents also enjoy goals, so we expect a classic total over.
