Preview: Rangers at Ducks ANAHEIM, Calif. (Interstat) — Two teams seeking consistency will meet Monday night when the New York Rangers visit the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center. The Rangers (21-28-0) are coming off a 6-3 road victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, a rare bright spot in a difficult stretch. That win snapped a five-game losing skid. Prior to the victory, New York had lost eight of its previous nine contests. Anaheim (23-24-0) has been marginally better, posting a 2-3-0 record in its last five games. The Ducks are returning home after a 3-2 shootout win over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday. A key player to watch is Rangers center Mika Zibanejad, who enters the game on a hot streak. He recorded a hat trick and an assist in the win over Philadelphia, giving him nine goals and six assists in his last 10 games. His line, frequently featuring Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck, will be a primary focus for the Anaheim defense. Panarin had two goals and an assist in the Philadelphia game. The Ducks will counter with a balanced attack. In their recent win over Los Angeles, Tim Washe and Ryan Strome each scored a goal, while a player to be determined contributed two assists. Anaheim has shown resilience at home this season. This is the second and final meeting between the clubs this season. The Ducks won the first matchup 4-1 in New York on Dec. 15, 2025, dominating play and handing the Rangers one of their many December defeats. For the Rangers, the game opens a three-game California road trip before returning east. Anaheim will embark on a five-game road trip following this contest. While both teams sit outside playoff position in their respective conferences, the matchup represents a critical opportunity to build momentum. The Rangers will look to prove their offensive outburst in Philadelphia was a turning point, while the Ducks aim to protect home ice and climb back to .500. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. PST at Honda Center.
