New York Rangers are backed to win their 7th win on the bounce when they visit the United Center, but I don’t see there being much in it.

New York Rangers Form
New York Rangers have shown that they can win away from home winning the same amount on the road as they have at Madison Square Garden this season.
They also know where the goal is scoring 22 goals in the 6-game win streak. Artemi Panarin has scored 3 goals in the 6 games. Panarin also leads the points chart for the Rangers with 26.
The Rangers are also great defending the goal, they are 5th in the league at goals against average per game with 2.48.
They know how to go forward from defensive actions as Adam Fox has got 20 assists from 23 games and has been one of the main players in this dominant Rangers side.
New York are 3rd in the league and are looking to overtake the Capitals in the Metropolitan Division sooner rather later.
The Rangers have a 22.1% Powerplay Conversion rate which is the 9th highest in the league.
Igor Shesterkin has a goals against average is 2.05 and a save percentage of .937. He also has 1 shutout this season.
Chicago Blackhawks Form
Chicago looked completely out of it when they dismissed Jeremy Colliton earlier in the season after starting the season 1-7-2 but Derek King has turned it around to set the Blackhawks up for the future.
King took charge on the 6th of November and has won 8 of the 12 games he has led the line for including their most recent game against the Islanders.
Alex Debrincat is where the goals are most probably going to come from this year with him leading the goals tally for the Blackhawks with 14 goals in 24 games.
You also can’t write about the Blackhawks and not talk about Patrick Kane. He has played over 1000 games in the NHL and he can still be a threat in 2021. He is 2nd in the assists and points charts for the Blackhawks behind Seth Jones in both charts and he’ll be looking to carry on his run against the Rangers.
But with all the positives come the negatives. The Blackhawks are 26th in the league and are on the same points as the new franchise in the Seattle Kraken. They are also 30th in the league at goals for average per game with 2.13.
The way Chicago have been winning can’t be ignored either. In their 8 wins under King, only 3 of them wins have been in normal time. The last time Chicago won in normal time was their November 17th win at Seattle Kraken.
Marc-Andre Fleury has a goals against average is 2.82 and a save percentage of .913. He also has 1 shutout this season.
