New York Rangers vs Vegas Golden Knights Betting Preview
Vegas enters Tuesday trying to stop a four-game home skid. The Golden Knights sit in a crowded Pacific Division and have struggled at T-Mobile Arena, winning four of their first ten. They return home after picking up three of four possible points on a road back-to-back, including a 3-2 overtime loss in Minnesota where special teams carried most of their offense.
The Rangers arrive as one of the NHL’s best road teams, tied for the most road wins with nine. They have won six straight away from home and own a plus-16 road goal differential. New York dropped its last game 2-1 to Detroit, but Jonathan Quick delivered a 40-save showing that reaffirmed his resurgence.
Vegas has not generated enough five-on-five scoring. Bruce Cassidy noted the need for more even-strength pressure. Meanwhile, New York continues to win games behind elite goaltending and efficient power-play execution.

Matchup Breakdown
New York Rangers Outlook
New York’s road game has been dominant. They pressure entries, defend the slot well, and lean heavily on elite goaltending. Quick’s 40-save effort Sunday was one of his best outings of the year. Their PK remains strong, and the power play has clicked for four goals in four games. If they generate rush chances, they can stretch Vegas defensively.
Vegas Golden Knights Outlook
Vegas continues to search for consistency at home. They are 1-3-2 in their last six at T-Mobile Arena and have been carried recently by the power play. Mitch Marner has been outstanding with 20 points in 18 games. Vegas must increase five-on-five pace and avoid passive middle-period shifts. Their defensive structure remains solid, but scoring droughts are holding them back.
Key Battleground
New York’s transition speed versus Vegas’ blue-line coverage. If the Rangers attack off the rush, they can exploit Vegas’ slower defensive rotations. Vegas needs strong neutral-zone play to slow down New York’s top-six.
