Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers – NHL Betting Preview
The Edmonton Oilers open a five-game road trip Tuesday against the New York Rangers, aiming to stay unbeaten in regulation.
After a 3-1 win over Vancouver, Edmonton looks sharper than in past slow starts. The Rangers, meanwhile, are eager to end their home scoring drought after back-to-back shutouts at Madison Square Garden.
Both teams are playoff-caliber, but their early-season form points in different directions.
The Oilers Can Win If
They keep dictating the pace offensively. Edmonton outshot Vancouver 36–15 and produced nine power-play chances, showing the aggressive puck movement that defines their attack. Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins lead the early scoring, while Connor McDavid continues to set up high-quality looks.
Coach Kris Knoblauch has his team playing with sharper defensive structure through the neutral zone, supported by goaltenders Calvin Pickard and Stuart Skinner. Even with Zach Hyman and Mattias Janmark sidelined, the Oilers’ top-six remains elite in zone possession and shot quality.
If Edmonton capitalizes on its power play and limits odd-man rushes, its speed should overwhelm New York’s forecheck.
The Rangers Can Win If
They translate effort into finishing. New York has gone two straight home games without a goal despite generating 71 total shot attempts against Washington. Adam Fox has three goals and an assist in four games, but the supporting cast has struggled at Madison Square Garden.
Goaltender Igor Shesterkin remains the backbone, stopping 83 of 88 shots this season. Defensively, the Rangers lead the NHL in hits (110) and rank near the top in blocked shots (61), keeping games close even when the offense stalls.
If the Rangers convert power-play looks and finish around the crease, they can neutralize Edmonton’s pace advantage and secure a much-needed home win.

Current (Oct 14, 7 p.m. UTC-5): Oilers –135 / Rangers +115

The market favors Edmonton’s form and scoring consistency. The total has stayed firm at six goals, balancing elite Oilers offense against Shesterkin’s home splits. For real-time updates, visit the NHL odds and scores page.
Matchup Breakdown
Edmonton ranks top-five in expected goals per 60 and power-play efficiency. Their transition attack under Knoblauch remains one of the league’s toughest to contain. New York ranks top-ten in shot suppression and penalty kill but sits bottom-third in high-danger conversion rate.
The Oilers have dominated this series, winning three straight by a combined 13-6 margin and nine of the last 12 overall.
