New York Rangers vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 01/20/26

The New York Rangers make the third stop on their 4-game road trip Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena against the Los Angeles Kings. It’s been mixed results on the trip, with the Blueshirts doubling up the Philadelphia Flyers 6-3 on Saturday, while falling 5-3 to the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center on Monday night. The Rangers are just 1-5-1 in the past 7 games, as goaltending continues to be shoddy. Spencer Martin has started the past 2 games, and the Rangers have allowed 8 goals. Prior to that, Jonathan Quick was in the crease, and he has been trampled since Igor Shesterkin went down with a lower-body injury in early January. He is 0-4-1 with a 5.78 GAA and .786 SV% in 4 starts, and 5 appearances. He is expected to face his former team, the Kings, with the back-to-back situation.

The Kings have had a flare for the dramatic lately, going to overtime or a shootout in 3 in a row, and 4 of the past 5 games. Regulation hasn’t been able to decide 6 of the past 9 games, too. The offense has struggled, averaging just 1.5 goals over the past four games, cashing the Under in each game. However, if Quick does, indeed, start, that should be the factor which kick-starts the offense for the Kings. With a total of just 5.5, we’ll target the over in this one.

Rangers vs Kings prediction: Over 5.5 (-125) at time of publishing. Playable to -130.
