New York Rangers vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/29/25

The New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes clash for a big Metropolitan Division battle in the NHL. These division rivals have met twice this season, and each own a multi-goal victory. Who will take this one? Here is our Rangers vs. Hurricanes prediction to get you set.

Carolina comes into this game as significant favourites. While they have been inconsistent as of late (1-2-1 in their last four games), I expect them to earn the win. They are on home ice, which has proven to be a tough building for a number years. New York has came out of the Christmas break by being shut out in a 2-0 loss to the New York Islanders, which is not a showing they needed. Now, they face an even tougher task, and I think it will be hard for them to turn it around this quick. Carolina has the division lead by three points and two games in hand, but this season the league has proven no lead is safe. This is no time for this prestigious Hurricanes team to take their foot off the pedal, and I see them really taking it to their opponent. For our Rangers vs. Hurricanes prediction, take Carolina on the money line.
