Sam Carrick and Mika Zibanejad lit the lamp, Adam Fox had two assists, and Jonathan Quick (2-1 2.03 GAA) stopped all 23 shots in the 64th shutout of his career.

Rangers vs. Oilers Pick
Money Line pick for Rangers vs. Oilers
- Pick: Oilers (+4 Units)
The Rangers had lost three in a row and six of seven games before a shutout win in their last game. The Oilers had lost two in a row before blowing up for six goals in winning their last game. New York is the second-lowest scoring team in the league and early this season, they were shut out at home in a 2-0 loss to the Oilers. Edmonton has been up and down on both sides of the ice this season, but the stars in McDavid and Draisaitl, who have three goals in the last two games, are starting to heat up. Regarding the New York Rangers vs. Edmonton Oilers, the Oilers will not kill it on the attack, but be solid and their D will play well against the low-scoring Rangers, getting their second win against them this season.
Over/Under Pick for Rangers vs. Oilers
- Under (+4 Units)
When these teams met in the Big Apple early this season, the total went Under in a 2-0 Oilers win and that is the pick I am leaning towards in this game. The Rangers are the second-lowest scoring team in the league, only averaging 2.20 goals per game. They have totaled nine goals in their last four game,s and while five came in one game, they were facing a San Jose Sharks team that ranks dead last in the NHL in GAA. The Oilers scored six goals in their last game but will not get nearly that many in this game against a good Rangers’ defense. Just like the first matchup this season, this game will be a low-scoring affair, so the Under is the pick.
