NHL league is a meeting between two teams whose play has been less than encouraging this season. The Rangers are 12th in the Eastern Conference with 56 points. Meanwhile, the Kings are one of the worst teams in the league this season. They are in last place in the Western Conference with 43 points.
New York Rangers
Although the Rangers are currently in 12th place, this team still has a theoretical chance to fight for a place in the play-offs. First of all, they have played 3 fewer games than most of their opponents. And secondly, their play has really improved recently compared to the start of the season. Of the latter 11 matches won 7 times victories. This is a very good result for this team. It is also worth mentioning that the Rangers are one of the home teams with the best record (101 goals scored in 29 games). The defensive situation is worse, but the goals scored/conceded ratio is still positive. Rangers do not have any injured players for this match, so the team will be able to play at full strength.
Los Angeles Kings
This team is having a very bad season and there are no signs of any significant improvement. This is especially true when the Kings play on the road. Via 32 matches suffered 24 setbackss. A team concedes a particularly high number of goals (3.5 per match) and have the worst defence in away games. The attack is also stagnating with 2.3 goals per match. At the moment the team is in the hole it has been in over the last 10 matches lost 9 times. We will see all players in the Kings line-up for this game.
Choice
So for Rangers, every game at this stage of the season is vital. At home against the league outsiders Kings, only a win is expected. Knowing that the Rangers' offence is very good at home and the Kings' defence is tragic away from home, we can expect quite a few goals from the Rangers. The odds offered for this outcome look really relatively high. You could try -1.5 with odds of 2.40. Another good choice for today is a Bruins win with a -1.5 advantage. Good luck.
