Rangers vs Oilers Prediction

New York comes into this matchup on a three game winning streak and they have allowed an average of two goals against per game during that span. The Rangers are 2-5-1 on the road this year, while the Oilers are 5-3-2 at home. Edmonton has lost two of their last three games, but they have scored at least four goals in four of their last five games. The Oilers have an elite offensive attack once again this year, but their defense and goaltending has been much better. I still don’t trust the Rangers on the road, so give me Edmonton to get the win here.

Positive Trends

After reviewing the trends, I still like the Oilers in this matchup. Edmonton has covered the puck line in five of their last six games overall, while New York have really struggled on the road this year. The Rangers are just 27th in shots per game this season and they have played poorly in the second period against the Pacific Division as an underdog. I know the price isn’t great, but I am going with Edmonton here.
