Canucks vs Rangers Prediction
We’ve profited nicely this season by fading the Rangers on the road and backing them at home. The problem here is the Rangers are having a successful road trip and showing signs of putting together balanced hockey. The Canucks just can’t be backed, as they have just one road win and have earned points in just four of their 20 games overall. The Canucks are simply the worst team in the league, especially for NHL bettors. No team has lost more money this season than the Canucks.
The Rangers beat the Canucks 6-2 a month ago, and they’ve won 7 of the last 9 games against them overall. Again, the Rangers’ road/home splits are a thing, but so is the Canucks being a pile of garbage curbside in the summer. You should be blindly fading the Canucks. It’s that simple. Give me the Rangers and the PL for max betting value.
