Through 76 games, the Rangers have scored 235 goals, giving them an average of 3.04. This output gives them a rank of 15th among NHL teams.On defense, New York Rangers is the 3rd ranked unit, giving up 2.47 goals per contest. So far, the Rangers have played the 24th toughest schedule in the league. And, when taking into account New York's scoring margin relative to the quality of their competition, they come in with a power ranking of 8th in the NHL.
Through 73 games, the Winnipeg Jets goal and overall scoring leader is Kyle Connor with 87 points. He has reached his mark of 43 goals, on a shooting percentage of 14.5%. So far, 19.0% of his goals have come during power play time. Behind him is Mark Scheifele, who has 41 assists to go along with his 29 goals. However, when on the ice, the Jets are -17 in scoring differential. Winnipeg's top goalie is Connor Hellebuyck, who is giving up an average of 3.03 goals per game. In his 64 games played, he has turned in 37 quality starts, giving him a quality start percentage above the league average.
Coming into this game, the New York Rangers Rangers leader in points is Artemi Panarin. In New York's 76 games, he has come up with 22 goals and 68 assists. He has scored his goals on a shooting percentage of 12.9%. The team's top overall goal scorer is Chris Kreider. Of his 50 goals, 50.0% have come during power play time. While on the ice, his offensive production has led to a plus-minus rating of +17.0. New York's top goalie is Igor Shesterkin, who is giving up an average of 2.05 goals per game. In his 50 games played, he has turned in 36 quality starts, giving him a quality start percentage above the league average.
In Winnipeg's 76 games, the over has hit in over half of their games, going 42-32-2. So far, taking the over when the Jets are playing away from home has been a good bet with an over-under record of 21-18. On the season, 61.0% of Winnipeg's games have gone for at least 6 goals or more, with 49.0% of the scoring coming from the Jets. Coming into this game, the Rangers have an over-under record of 29-45-2. When playing at home, the over is hitting less than half the time, going 15-21-1. On the season, 43.0% of New York's games have gone for at least 6 goals or more, with 48.0% of the scoring coming from the Rangers. With an over-under line set at 6 goals, I see this ending below that number, as neither offense will find much success against quality defensive units.
