Rangers vs. Kings prediction: NHL odds, pick for Tuesday
The New York Rangers are 9-6-4 after 19 games this season. The team has lost more games than it has won. Rangers were 12-5-3 last season and have improved their 5-on-five metrics this year.
The Rangers and the Los Angeles Kings are off to inconsistent starts. Both teams had successful seasons in 2021-22. The Rangers are 29th in the NHL in shooting percentage after finishing 8th last season. The Kings' even goal differential is compared to their +7 xG difference.
Rangers and Kings are playing each other on Tuesday. Los Angeles is 28th in the NHL in save percentage and neither Jonathan Quick nor Cal Petersen has found any semblance of form for coach Todd McLellan. Rangers have a sizable edge in goal and that's enough to warrant a bet on the Blueshirts on their road.
