Utah Mammoth vs New York Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Monday, 01/05/26

The Utah Mammoth will take on the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden. Both teams enter this game winning 3 of their last 5 overall. On the season, the Ranger rank last in the Eastern Conference with only 13 points through 18 home games. This has been an odd phenomenon for the Rangers as they lead the Eastern Conference with 32 points in 25 away games. They are hopeful to transition some of this form into their play at MSG. They may also be more optimistic after they beat the Florida Panthers 5-1 in their most recent home start. This was far from the standard of 2.6 goals per game that they are averaging, but much closer to all of our expectations of this Rangers team.

For the Mammoth, they are 10-13-2 away from home while currently being ranked 12th in the Western Conference. The Mammoth opened the season with a spark but have fallen off drastically since then. They have lost 5 of their last 8 overall and have only managed to score more than 1 goal in 1 of those losses. A struggling Mammoth offense may continue to struggle against a Rangers team that has a .905 save percentage on the year with that percentage rising to .933 when it’s 5-on-5. Additionally, if Igor Shesterkin gets the start, he has had over a 90% save percentage in 5 of his last 6 starts. I believe the Mammoth offense will struggle in this one and the Rangers will build on the momentum of their last win. I am taking the Rangers on the money line in this one.
