Seattle Kraken vs New York Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/12/26

The New York Rangers are coming off a lopsided 10-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday afternoon. Things continue to go from bad to worse for the Rangers, who have now dropped 3 games in a row and find themselves in 7th place in the Metropolitan division. Igor Shesterkin has landed on IR with a lower body injury, and neither Jonathan Quick or Spencer Martin have performed well in his absence. The Rangers have struggled on home ice all season long, owning a less-than-ideal 5-11-4 record at Madison Square Garden.

On the other side, the Seattle Kraken won 8 of 9 games before dropping their last 2 contest to the Hurricanes and Wild. Both losses came by a single goal, with the loss to Minnesota coming in overtime. These teams met back on November 1 in Seattle, with the Rankers squeaking out a 3-2 victory in overtime despite out-shooting the Kraken 27-13. These teams have seemed to go in opposite directions since then, and the Kraken enter this contest paying much better hockey. They are worth backing on the moneyline with plus-money odds.
