Game Preview: Rangers vs. Blackhawks Season Trends & Stats
This matchup features two teams with very different expectations for the 2025-26 season. The Rangers are firmly in the playoff hunt in the Metropolitan Division, while the Blackhawks continue their rebuild around their young core.
New York Rangers (2025-26 Record): 15-12-4 (34 Points) The Rangers enter tonight’s game looking to snap a frustrating mini-skid. In their last outing on Sunday, they suffered a tough 3-2 overtime loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Despite the loss, the Rangers have been picking up points consistently, with points in seven of their last eight contests. Their offense is averaging 3.1 goals per game, but they need to close out tight games in regulation.
Chicago Blackhawks (2025-26 Record): 12-11-6 (30 Points) The Blackhawks are coming off a blowout 7-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. Defense has been a major issue for Chicago recently; they have dropped three of their last four games and are allowing an alarming 4.5 goals per game over that stretch. They will need a massive bounce-back performance from their goaltending tandem to contain the Rangers’ attack.
Projected Leading Scorers and Key Matchups
New York Rangers Leaders:
- Artemi Panarin: 31 Points (10 Goals, 21 Assists)
- Alexis Lafrenière: 15 Points (6 Goals, 9 Assists)
- Mika Zibanejad: 14 Points (4 Goals, 10 Assists)
Chicago Blackhawks Leaders:
- Connor Bedard: Leads the team in goals and power-play points. Bedard remains the focal point of the offense, but he needs support from the secondary scoring lines to keep up with New York’s depth.
Key Injuries: Both teams are relatively healthy entering this matchup, though bumps and bruises are common this time of year. Check the official pre-game skate reports for any last-minute scratches.
My Prediction and Betting Angles
As a bettor, I’m looking at the Rangers (-135) on the moneyline here. I feel that New York is the more complete team, and Chicago’s recent defensive collapse against Anaheim (giving up 7 goals) is a massive red flag.
The line is set at Rangers -135 with an Over/Under of 5.5. Given that Chicago is leaking goals and the Rangers have the firepower in Panarin and Zibanejad to exploit that, I like the Over 5.5 as well. The Rangers are frustrated after that OT loss to Vegas and I expect them to come out flying. Chicago might score a couple on the power play, but I don’t trust their back end right now.
Prediction: Rangers win 4-2.
