Anaheim Ducks vs New York Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/15/25

The Anaheim Ducks will be visiting the New York Rangers on Monday night. The Rangers come into this game with a record of 6-2-2 in their last 10 games. They have, however, been brutal on home ice this season. Their record at Madison Square Garden is just 4-8-3. If they are going to be a contending team this year, they need to be tougher to play against on home ice. They have one of the best netminders in the league in Igor Shesterkin. He has a 2.53 GAA and .909 SVP, with one shutout on the season. They are one of the better defensive teams in the league as they average 2.67 goals against per game. Every bit of their defensive play will be required against the Ducks who average 3.44 goals per game, which is second-best in the NHL.

Although very good at the offensive end of the ice, the Ducks have their struggles defensively. This is common for a team with a young core. They are averaging 3.34 goals against per game. I think the Rangers will be able to expose the defensive weaknesses of this young team and lock things down at their end of the ice. Give me the Rangers in this one.
