Seattle vs New York Rangers Prediction 7 November 2026
🔊 Seattle Kraken and New York Rangers sit third in their respective divisions, but they come into their meeting with very different home and road records. The Kraken have won five of seven games at home, while the Rangers have managed just one win in seven road games. There is another point of interest in this game. Kaapo Kakko, who moved from the Rangers to Seattle, has already recorded 12 points and is among the team’s assist leaders. Now the Finn will play against his former club. Can he help the hosts take advantage of the Rangers’ struggles on the road?
Twenty minutes decided it all
📊 Last season, the teams traded road wins. The New York Rangers took two points from Seattle with a 3:2 overtime win. But the January game in New York went to the Seattle Kraken, 4:2. Each team scored six goals across the two games, and both wins went to the visitors. The upcoming game gives Seattle a chance to break that small pattern and beat New York in front of their home fans for the first time in two seasons.
Head-to-head statistics Seattle - New York Rangers
Catton shows no signs of slowing down
Lane Lambert’s team have so far avoided prolonged slumps. After losses, Seattle Kraken have won five of six games, and they have yet to lose two straight in regulation. They have been particularly strong at home, winning five of seven games. Not everything is going well defensively, though: Philipp Grubauer is allowing an average of 3.24 goals per game. At the other end, three players have 12 points apiece - Berkly Catton, Kaapo Kakko and Chandler Stephenson.
Seattle’s most recent game, against Calgary, ended in a 2:1 overtime win. Catton extended his point streak to seven games, setting a club record for players under 20, and Matty Beniers scored the winner. Notably, the Kraken trailed their opponents in both the number and quality of scoring chances created in regulation. Catton’s line with Mackie Samoskevich and Kakko stood out, though: in just over ten minutes on the ice, it accounted for 74.3% of the combined quality of scoring chances.

A completely different team at home
The New York Rangers have yet to carry their home success onto the road. Mike Sullivan’s team have won eight of ten games in New York but have lost six of seven away from home. Their offense has been working well, though: Alexis Lafrenière has scored nine goals, and Adam Fox already has more than 20 points. The defenceman needed just 17 games to reach that mark. Among the club’s defencemen, only Brian Leetch got there faster, in the 2000/01 season.
In their last game, the Rangers beat Philadelphia (3:2) despite trailing midway through the third period. Pavel Dorofeyev tied the game on the power play, and a minute and a half later Tye Kartye scored the winner. It was New York’s first comeback win of the season. Goaltender Dylan Garand stopped 25 of 27 shots, while Fox recorded two assists. Now the Rangers have to show they can produce finishes like that away from “Madison Square Garden”, too.

⭐️ Editor's Pick
The New York Rangers’ road results look worrying, but their offense has been doing noticeably better. They have scored at least three goals in six of their last seven games, averaging 3.2 goals over that stretch. The Seattle Kraken have played well at home, though they have had defensive problems too. Philipp Grubauer’s average of 3.24 goals allowed per game is particularly telling. So despite the Rangers’ poor road record, we expect them to score. Our pick - New York Rangers team total over 2.5 goals.
