Blackhawks vs Rangers Key Stats
Chicago is one of the teams with a poor offensive setup and this has been the reason for their suffering this season. Few players could make an impact while scoring, with Jonathan Toews leading with his eight goals with five assists. The team will be dependent on him to score once again.
Their defense also needs radical changes to get in the best shape for future games. The goaltenders have failed to manage things in front of the goal and have let the team down, conceding over 3.6 goals per game on average this season.
New York have a very inconsistent offense and averages less than three goals per game this season. With only a few players involved in more than goal contributions per game, they need improvements to make their offense better.
Their defensive inconsistency is also a big reason for their poor run. Even after averaging fewer than three goals conceded per game, they have failed to get enough wins. They need more from the goaltenders and the defensive line going forward this season.
Blackhawks vs Rangers Betting Prediction
The game is quite open as both teams have failed to perform well in their last few games.
Chicago have been decent in the last few outings and the inconsistent New York defense is likely to give them enough chances to score more. They will try to bring in Max Domi, who did great in the last game to help them cover the spread in this game.
Predicion : Take, Chicago, +1.5(-102)
