New York Rangers vs St. Louis Prediction 25 November 2025
🔊 The New York Rangers, who are currently struggling, will host St. Louis, a team facing similar challenges in the East. Both clubs find themselves far from playoff contention and have fallen short of expectations. This is especially true for the hosts, who were predicted to improve significantly after last year's disappointment. We're in for a clash between teams with unfulfilled ambitions.
Head-to-Head
In 2024, the opponents faced each other four times. The overall advantage in victories remains with the current visitors. St. Louis triumphed three times, suffering only one away defeat. It's worth noting that during this period, the opponents never went beyond regulation time and were quite productive - fewer than five goals were scored on only one occasion.
Head-to-head statistics New York Rangers - St. Louis

New York Rangers Team Overview
Mike Sullivan's squad has once again fallen into a streak of setbacks. The hosts have suffered four consecutive regulation-time losses. Their road trip out West turned out to be extremely disappointing, but the issues began on home ice. The head coach of Team USA for the Milan Olympics is trying various ways to "energize" his players, but with little success. The team has only 58 goals to their name, the worst record in the East. With such scoring struggles, it's hard to expect any significant improvement in their standings.

St. Louis Blues Team Overview
The Missouri-based club has been desperately clinging to their slim playoff hopes recently. In their last seven games, they've suffered five defeats, with only one of those losses coming in regulation time. It's hard to call this a tournament surge by any stretch, but the key is they've been managing to pick up points. This is crucial for a team trailing the playoff zone by five points and aiming for a Stanley Cup playoff berth. Especially considering their lackluster scoring record, having netted only 59 goals, which ranks among the lowest in the conference.

🥅 Goalies
Rangers' goaltender Igor Shesterkin is gradually getting back to his usual high level of play. The Russian is averaging a 90.9% save percentage and has recorded one shutout. The team's current losing streak isn't on him; the defensive issues are becoming systemic.
St. Louis netminder Jordan Binnington is struggling in the first half of the regular season, jeopardizing his chances of making Canada's roster for the Milan Olympics. He is averaging just an 88% save percentage. Even considering the poor defensive support from his teammates, this figure is hard to defend.
