Our pick for the New York Rangers vs. Edmonton Oilers during Friday’s NHL slate.
Rangers are on an absolute tear right now. The Blueshirts have won six in a row and are 21-4-3 since losing to Chicago on Dec. 3. The team was already in good form before making a move for Vladimir Tarasenko, but the addition of the former St. Louis Blue has provided an extra spark, as the Rangers are 3-0 with Tarasenko in the lineup and have scored 18 goals in that span.
over their last 10 games, but Edmonton is right behind the Blueshirts in third. The Rangers have the third-best points percentage over their last 25, but once again the Oilers are not far behind in sixth.21+. New customers only.

The one difference that does stand out between these two teams is their statistical portfolio at 5-on-5. Because of the starpower on both rosters, neither the Oilers nor Rangers need to dominate the puck to have success, that said it does help if you’re pushing play in the right direction.While Edmonton has posted the third-best expected-goals rate and second-best high-danger chance percentage over their last 25 games, the Rangers rank 25th and 26th, respectively, in those same metrics.
And what’s really flying under the radar for the Oilers is that it’s the team’s defense that is doing a lot of the heavy lifting right now. No team has conceded fewer high-danger scoring chances over its last 25 games than Edmonton and the Oilers rank sixth in expected goals against in that frame.
