New York Rangers vs New York Islanders Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/28/26

The New York Rangers and New York Islanders are set for an in-state battle on Wednesday night at UBS Arena. These teams have met twice this season, with the Islanders claiming victories of 5-0 and 2-0. That’s right; the Rangers have yet to score a single goal through 120 minutes of action against the Islanders this season. However, there is hope for more offensive success in this one. The Rangers have scored 3 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 games and are averaging 3.5 goals per game in that span. They have also been better offensively on the road than at home, as their goals per game average jumps from a league-low 2.09 at home to a solid 3.10 on the road.

The Islanders are coming off a 4-0 win over the Flyers and will be playing just their second home game over their last 10 contests. They will be fired up to be back on home ice, as they were shut out 5-0 by the Sabres the last time they played in front of their home fans. With that in mind, look for the Islanders to come out firing. Igor Shesterkin is still on IR, and both Jonathan Quick and Spencer Martin have struggled between the pipes for the Rangers. Quick owns a less-than-ideal .884 save percentage, while Martin’s is even lower at .864. Look to the over in this matchup.
