On January 10, the NHL regular season match will take place. The Rangers on their site will play with New Jersey.
The Rangers
The Rangers occupy the 12th line in the Eastern Conference standing. The team is eight points behind the playoffs. Team leaders – Artemy Panarin, Chris Krider and Mika Zibanejad – are doing everything in their power, but this is not enough so that the regular season will be successful for the club.
Nevertheless, the Rangers have recently played successfully in domestic matches. They won three home games in a row, scored at least five goals in each.
The Devils
As for the Devils, the team continues to slip. The coach left the crew in December, but this gave a temporary effect. Recent matches have not been successful: Colorado (2:5) and the Islanders (3:4) have outplayed the New Jersey team. It is important to note that the Devils very poorly use the quantitative advantage (only 15% of attempts).
Prediction
The Upcoming match will end with a victory for the domestic team. The Rangers are currently better prepared and have higher motivation.
Our prediction: New York Rangers will not lose
