New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks head-to-head record

Based on their last five meetings, the Rangers have clearly been better than the Blackhawks, capturing four of those five meetings. The Rangers have always been better on offense. For example, they beat the Blackhawks 7-1 in December of 2022 and 4-1 earlier this season. Chicago got a 5-2 victory in December 2022, but they have not had much luck lately, and the Rangers' strong offense and defense have made it hard for them to keep up. Because New York has been performing better lately and has a better overall performance, they are going to keep winning this game, especially since the Blackhawks are still growing and having trouble on the road. You can anticipate the Rangers to get another win due to their strong offensive line and goalie.
