Vancouver vs New York Rangers Prediction 14 November 2026
📡 Vancouver Canucks cannot seem to break out of their losing streak. Even returning home has not helped so far: their last game against Philadelphia ended in another defeat. New York Rangers now visit the Canucks, having already scored six goals against them in October. Can the hosts get revenge and finally give their fans something to cheer about?
Rangers pulled away in the third period in October
📊 The first meeting between the teams this season remained close for a long time. After two periods, Vancouver Canucks trailed by just one goal in New York, but conceded three more in the final period and lost 6-2.
Interestingly, last season the teams traded shutout wins on the road. New York Rangers won 2-0 in Vancouver, before Vancouver Canucks returned the favour with a 3-0 win in New York.
Head-to-head statistics Vancouver - New York Rangers
They hold on until the final intermission but come away with no points
Five straight defeats and 22 goals allowed - Vancouver fans are unlikely to look back fondly on the past few weeks. Not every game was hopeless, though. In Edmonton, for example, the Canucks were level at 1-1 after two periods, but conceded three times in the third and lost 4-2.
They could not turn things around at home against Philadelphia either. The hosts scored only in the final period and lost 3-1. And now they face an opponent who punished Vancouver after the second intermission when the teams met in October.

Zibanejad helps end trip to Calgary with a win
The New York Rangers have won four of their last five games and showed in Calgary how they can get results on the road. Mika Zibanejad’s two goals bolstered the attack, while Joonas Korpisalo made 29 saves. The New York side held their opponents to one goal and won 3-1.
The run of games in Seattle, Edmonton and Calgary brought two wins in three outings. Zibanejad heads to Vancouver after his first two-goal game of the season, and the visitors can hope his scoring and reliable goaltending will again help them see out a win.

Latest news
Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver continue to be without Thatcher Demko, who is recovering from hip surgery. Levi Meriläinen is considered one possible candidate to start in goal for the game, but a final decision has not yet been announced.
The availability of forward Filip Chytil and defenceman Tom Willander, who have been on the injury lists, remains uncertain.
New York Rangers
Starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin is out for the season with an injury. Defencemen Sean Durzi and Alberts Smits, as well as forward Joe Veleno, will also be unavailable.
Dylan Garand is among those being considered to play against Vancouver. However, Korpisalo played well against Calgary, so it is too early to say the decision has been made before the lineup is announced.
Prediction for the 1st period
Vancouver went into the first intermission without scoring in their most recent game against Philadelphia. Before that, the Canucks had scored in the opening period in four straight games, against Toronto, Anaheim, Winnipeg and Edmonton.
Vancouver also scored before the first intermission in four of their last five head-to-head games against the Rangers. Let’s consider the Canucks Team Total Over 0.5 Goals in the first period at odds of 1.62.
Match Result Prediction
In their most recent game against the Rangers, the home side held on for two periods but still lost by four goals. Vancouver have now lost five straight games in regulation.
New York have not been flawless either, as their defeat in Edmonton shows. But four wins in their last five games give reason to expect the visitors to capitalise on their opponents’ current problems. Our pick is a Rangers regulation win.
Total Goals Prediction
Both teams scored in the third period in each of Vancouver’s last five games. That was also the case in their most recent game against Philadelphia, when the teams traded goals after the second intermission.
This has happened less often in Rangers games. But both teams have regularly scored late in Vancouver’s games recently. We’re backing both teams to score in the third period at odds of 2.05.
Safer Bet
In their last three away games, the New York Rangers have scored no more than one goal in the third period: they failed to score in Seattle and Edmonton, and scored once in Calgary.
Only one of Vancouver Canucks’ last five opponents has scored more than one goal against them in the final period. We’re backing the New York Rangers Team Total Under 1.5 Goals in the third period at odds of 1.48.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
Vancouver Canucks have lost five games in a row, allowing 22 goals in that stretch. Turning things around will not be easy: New York Rangers have already beaten the Canucks this season, and their attack has received a boost from Zibanejad, who scored twice in Calgary. In the same game, Korpisalo helped the team allow just one goal.
Of course, the hosts are capable of taking the game to overtime - they kept the score level for a long time in Edmonton. But right now, the visitors have more reason to expect a win in regulation. Our pick is New York Rangers to win in regulation.
