New York Rangers vs San Jose Sharks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/23/26

The New York Rangers conclude their West Coast trip with a game against the San Jose Sharks. The Rangers have struggled so far on this trip, going 0-3 and being outscored 9-6. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and have been involved in several high-scoring contests. While their overall offense has been disappointing, they tend to perform better on the road. The real issue seems to be with their goaltending. Jonathan Quick has had a rough time since November and Spencer Martin doesn’t appear to be a viable solution.

The Sharks are an offensive powerhouse but struggle defensively. They can score goals, especially at home, but they are the worst team in the league at preventing goals. Although they have improved slightly recently, their defense remains far from adequate. Macklin Celebrini has been a standout player, posting impressive statistics, and with Will Smith returning to the lineup the Sharks gain a bit of extra strength. Overall, both teams have enough skill to turn this matchup into a shootout. Fans should expect the goal light to flash early and often.
