Staff Preview

Los Angeles Kings vs. New York Rangers Prediction: New York Is Likely to Win, but Pass at -135

Analysis updated October 26, 2026 at 1:02 AM CDT

New York has outperformed Los Angeles early this season, but the available information does not support paying -135 on the Rangers.

Prediction

PuckOdds lists New York at 7-5-1 with 3.4 goals per game, while Los Angeles is 2-5-2 and scores 2.3 per game. That gap makes the Rangers the likelier winner Monday at Madison Square Garden.

The price is less convincing. SPF lists New York at -135, and no starting goaltender has been confirmed in the available information. The Rangers also have Igor Shesterkin and Joonas Korpisalo on injured reserve, while the Kings have Quinton Byfield listed day-to-day and Alex Turcotte and Kevin Fiala on injured reserve. Those uncertainties make the Rangers a pass rather than a bet.

Betting outlook

The total is 5.5, with the over priced at -130 and the under at +110. New York allows 3.2 goals per game and gave up seven at Ottawa on Oct. 24, but Los Angeles averages only 2.3 goals and scored once at New Jersey that same day. That mixed evidence does not support a total wager.

SPF lists Los Angeles at +1.5 and New York at -1.5. With no confirmed starting goalies and no sourced public-betting split, there is not a reliable case for either side of the puck line.
