Final Thoughts

My best bet for this matchup is for the Edmonton Oilers to win and cover the puckline at home against the New York Rangers. The Oilers already have a two-goal win over the Rangers under their belt this season. I would expect them to get another win by two goals or more here, as their explosive attack should be able to create separation against a Rangers team that is struggling to generate goals, with just 2.18 goals per game so far this year.
