Vancouver Canucks vs New York Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/16/25

The Vancouver Canucks will take on the New York Rangers today. The Canucks are sporting a 12-17-3 record which ranks them last in the NHL. The Canucks are also giving up 3.50 goals per game, partly due to their shaky power play defense that has a 72% penalty kill rate. While these numbers are discouraging, the Canucks are significantly better away from Vancouver. Through 17 away games they have 18 points and have scored 51 goals. The Canucks have also won 3 of the last 5 games they have played against the Rangers in New York.

For the Rangers, they have been very disappointing this season. They currently rank 12^th in the Eastern Conference with a 16-14-4 record. What has been more disappointing, is the way the Rangers have played at home. In New York, they are 4-9-3 having scored 30 goals and given up 50 goals. The Rangers inability to score has been present in the last 5 games with them losing 4 of those games and only scoring a total of 10 goals. Overall, the Canucks play much better away from home, and I think they will steal a win from a Rangers team that is struggling to score. I am taking the Canucks on the money line.
