Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers head-to-head record
The Rangers have won four of their past five meetings with the Montreal Canadiens. Particularly, the Rangers have scored at least four goals in each win, including a convincing 7-2 triumph on October 23rd, 2024, and a 7-4 win on the 16th of February 2024. On the seventh of January 2024, the Canadiens won their only game 4-3, showing they can compete when the defense stands firm. The Rangers' scoring depth, proved by Artemi Panarin, and the Canadiens' reliance on Sam Montembeault in net might make this game about Montreal's ability to stop New York's formidable offense and capitalize on its own offensive opportunities. If the Rangers keep scoring, they'll likely preserve their lead over Montreal.
