Are the Rangers striking back in Boston?

Details:

On the offensive, only the 19th best team (Bruins) and the 22nd best (Rangers) face each other. In six of their last seven meetings, the mark of five goals has not been exceeded. We do not expect that for Saturday either, which does not speak for a bad ice hockey game.

Quite the opposite: Especially with the Bruins, it is exciting to see how they act in face-offs or in the undernumbered game. They clearly lead the league in both statistics and they are also among the top 10 in their own power play. So special team play is very important in Boston.

The Rangers, on the other hand, rely more on teamwork this year, supported by some good individual players (Buchnevich, Kreider, Panarin). After their 4-0 on Thursday, the Bruins are of course the favorites again on Saturday. The last time we bet on them in this duel, however, the Rangers won 6-2.

Since the game was even on Thursday with 27:27 shots, our forecast for Boston vs. New York is now a very close game, which brings bets on a draw into the race. These would offer us outstanding value.

The first face-off of the game is on Saturday evening at 7 p.m. in Boston and it can be watched live on DAZN.
