Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on December 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Boston is the best club in the NHL East at the moment. For a while, the Rangers moved them out of the lead, but now it's the Bruins who are in first place. They have 42 points, while the second-place New Yorkers have just one less. In other words, Boston is forbidden to lose in the upcoming battle. We note that they alternate wins and losses in five games in a row. So, after 1:2 from New Jersey in overtime, Boston has already beaten the Islanders (5:4) in a shootout.

Rangers also show a classy hockey in this campaign. As mentioned above, the team is second in the standings in the entire East with 41 points, which means they will regain the leading position if they win the upcoming game. If we talk about the past meetings of the Rangers, after the victory over Los Angeles (4:1), they lost to Toronto (3:7), and the day before, they coped with Anaheim with a score of 5:1.

The upcoming meeting will decide who will lead the Eastern Conference. In the last face-to-face battle, the Rangers won with a score of 7:4, and then they managed to replace the Bruins in the second position. Then the Bears became top-1 again, and now, clearly, they aren't going to make the same mistakes. They meet with a comfortable opponent, plus their stands - we think it's time for revenge, so we offer a bet on the final victory of the home team (including overtime and shootout).
