New York Rangers vs New Jersey Prediction 24 September 2026
🔊 Just days after their first encounter, the Rangers are already eyeing a shot at redemption against New Jersey. Mike Sullivan’s squad have endured a tough preseason so far-two games, two narrow defeats, each by just a single goal. The Devils, on the other hand, have come out on top in both of their matchups, conceding only three goals in total. However, the visitors won’t be bringing their full-strength roster to Madison Square Garden this time, so they’ll be looking to replicate their recent success with a different lineup.
Head-to-Head
📊 Just two days ago, New Jersey claimed victory in the first preseason derby with a 3-2 win. Looking back at last season, including two exhibition games, the teams faced off five times: the Devils came out on top in three contests, while the Rangers took two. Notably, these matchups have typically produced much higher scoring than their recent clash, averaging seven goals per game. All five meetings were decided in regulation.
Head-to-head statistics New York Rangers - New Jersey
New York Rangers Team Overview
After their defeat to New Jersey, the Blueshirts hosted the Islanders and jumped out to a 3-0 lead by the seventh minute of the second period, only to let the game slip away and fall 4-3. Costly penalties proved decisive, as the opposition earned five power-play opportunities and converted three of them. Meanwhile, the Rangers continue to evaluate a large roster-43 players remain in training camp, including 25 forwards, 13 defensemen, and five goaltenders. Of those, 22 skated in at least one game for the club last season, giving the coaching staff plenty of options for further lineup adjustments.

New Jersey Devils Team Overview
The Devils remain unbeaten so far, having edged out the Islanders 2-1 before overcoming the Rangers 3-2. While five goals in two games isn't the most prolific tally, New Jersey have conceded just three at the other end. This time, the lineup will see some experimentation: for instance, Amadeus Lombardi is set for his second preseason appearance and will slot back into his familiar center role. Stefan Noesen, who was limited to just 33 games last season due to health issues, is expected to feature in his second and final tune-up game.

⭐️ Editorial Prediction
New Jersey have already put three past the Rangers in their first preseason clash, and previously found the net twice against the Islanders. The hosts, meanwhile, are still searching for stability at the back: after conceding three to the Devils, they shipped four more to the Islanders. But the real key here is the head-to-head record-New Jersey have scored at least three goals in six of their last seven meetings with the Rangers. While the visitors’ lineup will see some changes, the benchmark for this bet remains the same. My pick: New Jersey Devils team total over 2.5 goals.
