Kicking off a new week in the NHL is a matchup between the New York Rangers and Edmonton Oilers. These storied franchises have performed well this season, both posting winning records, and coming off winning efforts. Who will keep their red-hot momentum up? Here is our in-depth Rangers vs. Oilers prediction.
New York is currently riding a three-game winning streak, but may be halted in this one. This is their second road game of a four-game trip, and since mid-October, the Rangers haven’t seen a ton of elite teams like Edmonton. Coincidentally enough, they took on Edmonton just eight days ago, and things did not go well. A 4-1 Oilers win on November 1st may be a good tell on how this one will play out. Edmonton has been a pure offensive juggernaut this season, with the league’s highest scoring average (4.11) and the third-best power play (33.8%). New York does not possess the talent and scoring ability to keep up. This one could have a different outlook if star Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin was not out for the season due to injury, but the Oilers have just too much to offer here. For our Rangers vs. Oilers prediction, take the home team in Edmonton on the money line.
Rangers vs. Oilers prediction: Edmonton Oilers ML (-165) available at time of publishing. Playable to (-185).
