NHL, two teams with completely different seasons meet. The Rangers are currently ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference and look very uncertain. Avalanche, on the other hand, are showing very good play. The team is ranked 2nd in the Western Conference and led by McKinnon, they have a good chance to compete for the title this season.
The Rangers at home do not look as their fans would expect. In their fortress, the team has won 10 games and lost 10. It is noteworthy that these victories are mostly against teams that are not showing good play this season and are either at the bottom or middle of the standings. It is very difficult to compete against the league's elite, and losses are often experienced. Speaking of Avalanche, the situation in their camp is much more positive. In terms of away games, the team is in first place, having won 14 games and lost 9, with a positive goal difference. When playing against weaker league teams, victories are usually achieved. The last away losses for Avalanche were against the Islanders and Blues, who are much stronger this season than the Rangers. Hajek and Lemieux will still be unable to help at home, while Avalanche will miss Wilson. In the teams' H2H, Avalanche have won 3 of the last 5 games, and the last game ended with a 6:1 victory for Avalanche.
So, we predict that after yesterday's loss to the Islanders, Avalanche will look better today and will break through the weaker Rangers defense more than once. We choose the team that looks much better and more reliable this season. Good luck.
