The New York Rangers host the Los Angeles Kings on Monday, October 26, 2026, at Madison Square Garden. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET for this early-season regular-season matchup.
The Rangers enter the game with a 7-3-1 record through their first 11 contests. New York collected a 5-2 victory against the Anaheim Ducks in its most recent outing, bouncing back from an overtime defeat at the Columbus Blue Jackets and a loss at the New Jersey Devils. Prior to that two-game skid, the Rangers had earned consecutive home victories against the Vancouver Canucks and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Los Angeles comes to New York holding a 0-4-2 record and is winless across its first six games. The Kings fell 4-1 at home against the Boston Bruins in their last game, which followed a 4-1 loss against the Edmonton Oilers. Los Angeles has earned two points in the standings this season via overtime losses on the road against the San Jose Sharks and the Vegas Golden Knights.
Monday marks the first meeting between the two clubs during the 2026-2027 season. The matchup pits a Kings squad seeking its first win of the campaign against a Rangers team that has won three of its last five games.
