Chicago vs NY Rangers Prediction: the Blackhawks to Suffer Defeat

Prediction for the NHL match between Chicago vs NY Rangers, which will take place on February 10th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chicago gains experience this season to be competitive in the future. They don't aim to achieve something significant as they have an unstable roster. The club is rebuilding, so some of the top players have already left, promising youngsters are still not confident, and injuries to key players worsen the situation. So, the team recently lost 3-14 to Vancouver, Seattle, Edmonton, Calgary and Minnesota. Chicago has slipped to last place in the Western Conference.

The Rangers are having a solid season, battling for the top spot. From the beginning, the team showed great results, but in January, the players seemed to run out of energy. In the game before the All-Star Match, they beat Ottawa 7-2 and then had a productive week. NY opened it with a 2-1 win over Colorado, followed by a 3-1 victory over Tampa Bay. Three straight victories have made them second in the Eastern Conference standings.

This season, Chicago and the Rangers are entirely different opponents. The standings prove that as the Hawks are currently last in the Western Conference, while the NY team is second in the Eastern Conference. This fact alone makes the Blueshirts the favorites in this matchup. They have also won six of the last seven H2H meetings, and this time, the visitors should earn two points as well.

Lately, the opponents exchanged goals quite regularly. In seven previous H2H meetings, the teams scored 49 goals (averaging 7.00 per game). Of course, the visitors have acted much more offensively during that stretch, sending 32 goals (4.57 per game average). Now, Peter Laviolette's charges can be productive on offense.
