Golden Knights vs Rangers: A matchup between two sleepers
The Vegas Golden Knights are visiting the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden on Friday night.
The Golden Knights are waking up
The Vegas Golden Knights are fifth in the Western Conference with a 28-14-6 record. They have won four of the last five games and are coming off a 3-2 win over the New York Islanders. Vegas is 16th in the NHL with 3.17 goals per game and is ranked sixth, allowing 2.71 goals per game. Mark Stone leads the Golden Knights with 49 points. Goalie Adin Hill is on top of the league, allowing 1.93 goals per game with a 93.5 save percentage.
The Rangers are targeting the top of the East
The New York Rangers are third in the Eastern Conference with a 29-15-3 record. They have lost three of the last four games and are coming off a 3-2 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Rangers are second in the league in converting on 28.1% of power play situations and are ranked 13th in the league in scoring 3.21 goals per game. Artemi Panarin is having an excellent season, being sixth in the league with 29 goals and 63 total points.
Betting Trends
The Rangers have played under the total line in 11 of the last 15 home games played at home on Friday. The Golden Knights have stayed over in 9 of their last 12 games overall and in 12 of their last 15 games played on January.
Prediction and Conclusion
The Rangers are having a promising season, even though they are coming off a difficult week. The defending champion Golden Knights are picking up their pace after having a couple of struggling weeks themselves. The Rangers are back home after a short trip, and they will have to leave behind the last loss to the worst team in the league. They usually play tough at home, not allowing many goals, and no matter how good Vegas is lately, scoring at the MSG will not come easy. Both teams will be focused on the defensive end of the ice, and with the total goal line set at 6, they will keep the final score under it.
