Edmonton Oilers
The Oilers have been inconsistent recently, losing eight of their last 12 games. They began their current four-game road trip with losses to the Sabres and Devils but secured an overtime win against the Islanders in their latest outing. Offensively, Edmonton averages 3.20 goals per game, ranking 10th in the league. Leon Draisaitl leads the team with 100 points (49 goals, 51 assists), followed by Connor McDavid with 85 points (24 goals, 61 assists), and Evan Bouchard with 53 points (13 goals, 40 assists). Goaltender Calvin Pickard is expected to start, holding a 16-7-0 record, a 2.67 goals-against average, and a .898 save percentage this season.
New York Rangers
The Rangers recently ended a four-game losing streak with consecutive victories over the Wild and Blue Jackets, including a 4-0 shutout in Columbus. They currently hold the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Defenseman Adam Fox has contributed five goals and 44 assists this season, leading the team’s defense with a +7 plus-minus rating. Forward Jonathan Tanner Miller has added 16 goals and 37 assists. Goaltender Igor Shesterkin recorded a 21-save shutout in his last game, but given the back-to-back schedule, veteran Jonathan Quick (9-6-2, .896 save percentage) may start against the Oilers.
Oilers vs. Rangers Betting Prediction
Both teams have shown fluctuations in form, but the Rangers’ recent defensive solidity and home-ice advantage could be pivotal. However, the Oilers have won seven out of the last 10 meetings between these two teams. That includes winning both matchups versus the Rangers this season. Give me Edmonton at -155 at Bovada.lv.
