New York Rangers and New York Islanders head-to-head record
In recent head-to-head matchups, the Rangers have dominated, defeating the Islanders four times in five games, including their most recent meeting on February 26, 2025, by a resounding 5-1. With at least five goals in each of their three victories, they have continuously found a way to get past the Islanders' defense. The Islanders can turn the tide if they can rediscover their offensive rhythm, as seen by their lone success in this stretch, a 5-2 triumph on October 5, 2024. The Rangers could have the advantage once more, given their offensive performance in this game and their potent penalty kill, particularly if they take advantage of the Islanders' weak PK. The Islanders, on a two-game winning streak, will be eager to change the course of events and may turn this into a more competitive contest, particularly if Ilya Sorokin performs well in goal.
