The New York Rangers haven't been successful in Edmonton lately. In fact, they haven't been able to beat Edmonton in any rink since the 2023-24 season, losing to Connor McDavid's team four consecutive times.  The 4-5-2 Rangers will try to erase the Oilers' winning trend in the matchup when Edmonton hosts New York inside Rogers Place this Thursday night, for a contest that's set to drop the puck at 9 p.m. EST.

Solid bookmaker's odds on the Oilers to beat the Rangers again reflect more than the visitors' sub-.500 record. The Oilers' superstars are getting warm to the challenge of a young season, and that means the defending Western Conference champs should compile a lot of goals in the days and weeks to come.

New York Rangers vs Edmonton Oilers Predictions and Picks 

The Rangers have scored only three times in their last three turns against the Oilers, although that scoring pace would be more than enough to win this Thursday if the Rangers check like they did in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. New York held Vancouver to just 12 shots in the first two periods, making life easy for goaltender Jonathan Quick. Artemi Panarin, however, is still quiet on the attacking end.

Edmonton exploded for a five-goal second period in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Utah Mammoth. It's frightening for New York that McDavid and fellow Oilers linchpin Leon Draisaitl combined for three goals against Utah, following an OT battle with the Canucks in which Draisaitl pumped in a pair. If the Oilers' featured scoring lines are in a groove, that's bad news for the teams next on Edmonton's schedule. 

KSL Sports points out that the Oilers' halted a seven-game winning streak from the Mammoth "at the end of a (Utah) road trip," a clue that the home team might have had an advantage in crispness and urgency. But even though the Rangers are just halfway through their own road swing, the Edmonton Oilers' momentum makes Thursday's hosts into a better pregame wager on the money line or ATS.
