New York Rangers 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
As preparations begin for the 2025-26 season, New York Ranger fans and a lot of gamblers are still not recovering from a catastrophic 2024-5 campaign. In 2024, the Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference Final, where they were defeated by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. Thus, expectations were through the roof for the Broadway Blueshirts, who were a 2025 Stanley Cup favorite. However, the Rangers finished out of the money and were not a serious contender for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. Now the Rangers will reboot and try again with a new head coach.
NHL Betting Lines

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Taylor Raddysh, Vladislav Gavrikov, Scott Morrow
Out: K’Andre Miller, Chris Kreider
At the very least, Vladislav Gavrikov looks like he can be a significant upgrade over K’Andre Miller. Gavrikov was a true top-pair defenseman for the Kings last season and a defensive beast. He should look great on a pair with Adam Fox, or drive a matchup pair behind him, which is something Miller struggled to do last season.
Still, it would’ve been nice to add Gavrikov to a blue line that still had Miller rather than choose one over the other. The Rangers went from being short two top-four defensemen to being short two top-four defensemen. It’s possible that Scott Morrow can step in and be that right away for them, but it doesn’t feel like a likely bet in Year 1, considering how green he looked during the playoffs for Carolina.
Key Players
LW Artemi Panarin is the Rangers' best offensive player. His career began with the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2015-16 season, and he produced a 30-goal season. Panarin has been with the Rangers since the 2019-20 campaign. In 2024, he scored 49 goals with 71 assists. This past season, Panarin had 37 goals, 52 assists, and 89 points. Panarin was dogged by sexual assault allegations by a Rangers employee and had to eventually settle the complaint, which was a distraction to the season.
D Adam Fox is a key playmaker and the Rangers' number one defenseman. He began his NHL career in 2019-20. In 2024, he scored 17 goals, recorded 56 assists, and finished with a +21 rating. This past season, Fox had 10 goals, 51 assists, 61 points, and a plus-9 rating.
Goaltenders
Number one goaltender Igor Shesterkin is a key reason why the Rangers emerged as a top contender. Shesterkin has played his entire career for the Broadway Blueshirts. In 2023, he had a stellar career save percentage of .924 and a 2.37 goals against average. In 2024, Shesterkin had a .913 save percentage and a 2.58 goals against average. This past year, his goals-against average was 2.86, with a save percentage of .905. His record was 27-29-5 with six shutouts.
Head Coach
Former head coach Peter Laviolette is one of the most successful bench bosses in NHL history. He was the previous head coach of the Washington Capitals, Nashville Predators, Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes, and New York Islanders. As head coach of the Hurricanes, he won the 2006 Stanley Cup. Laviolette was fired at the end of this season after a shocking team collapse.
Mike Sullivan arrives from the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he won two Stanley Cup championships and led a long run of success. However, Pittsburgh management failed to update a roster that had become outdated and ineffective. Sullivan was eager to leave the fantasy hockey dreams of the analytics geek Kyle Dubas, who is off to a dubious start as the Penguins’ GM. Sullivan inherits a turn-key contender in New York.

New York Rangers History
Founded as an Original Six franchise in 1926, the Rangers have won four Stanley Cup championships, with the most recent one occurring in 1994. But for many fans, the Glory Years were in the late 1960s and early 1970s when the Rangers did everything but win the Stanley Cup. Rod Gilbert, Jean Ratelle, Vic Hadfield, and Eddie Giacomin lit up the Madison Square Garden marquee and made the 1972 Stanley Cup Final, losing to Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Boston Bruins in six games. New York had several other near misses in that special era of team history.
The greatest moment in Rangers’ history came in 1994 when they ended a 54-year curse by winning the Stanley Cup. In a thrilling seven-game series, the Rangers first had to get past the New Jersey Devils in the Conference Final. That win over the Devils will forever be remembered for captain Mark Messier going full-throttle Joe Namath and guaranteeing that the Broadway Blueshirts would prevail. Subsequently, New York won another thrilling seven-game series against the Vancouver Canucks in the Stanley Cup Final. The Rangers clinched the Stanley Cup in front of their home fans in an unforgettable moment in time. The days of “1940” chants by hated Islander fans were shut up forever with the title.
