Rangers vs Kings Key Stats
We can say that New York's offense has been the main factor behind their inconsistency as they have averaged less than three goals per game this season. Only three players have averaged a point or above per game so far this season, with Mika Zibanejad leading with 10 goals and 11 assists.
They need other players to step up and convert chances into goals to give the team the desired strength. Their defense has done decent and they need to maintain it along with a few improvements going forward this season.
Los Angeles has done decent on offense with valuable contributions from the likes of Kevin Fiala and Trevor Moore, who both have 33 goal involvements in between. Though they have played well as a team, they need players to step in and contribute more than average as every player has an average of less than a point so far this season.
Their defensive unit is the weakest link, which puts them at a disadvantage going into the game and they have to make a lot of changes to improve it going forward this season.
Rangers vs Kings Betting Prediction
This game is perfectly matched and any team can win this. New York have not scored enough in their last two games. They have lost five times in their last seven meetings and this puts them at a disadvantage.
Los Angeles are coming with an edge in this game as they have won all their last five home games and have won four in the last five games playing at a day's break. They can fancy their chances against the inconsistency prone New York side of scoring more to win this game
Prediction: Take, Los Angeles, ML(-105)
