Edmonton Oilers Form & Recent Results

Edmonton heads into this game hoping to break out of a slump, having lost two straight and dropping three of their last five games leading up to their matchup with Utah. In their most recent match, a narrow 4-3 overtime defeat against Vancouver, Leon Draisaitl was a bright spot, finding the back of the net twice. Draisaitl has been Edmonton's top goal-scorer so far this season with seven goals. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has also contributed offensively, currently sitting second on the team with five goals to his name. While the Oilers have struggled at times to find consistency, their playmaker and captain, Connor McDavid, continues to drive the offense. McDavid leads the team not only in points, with twelve this season, but also in assists, having set up eleven of Edmonton’s goals so far. Defensively, however, the Oilers have had some trouble tightening up, conceding an average of 3.6 goals over their last five games, a number they’ll need to address as they aim to snap their losing streak. On the attacking end, Edmonton is averaging 2.9 goals per game, showing that while the offense has some firepower, they’ll need a more balanced effort at both ends of the ice to get back on track.

New York Rangers Form & Recent Results

The New York Rangers come into this matchup struggling, having lost three straight games and dropping four of their last five heading into their match against Vancouver. Their most recent defeat was a tough 5-1 loss to the Calgary Flames, with Noah Laba netting the team’s only goal in that game. On the season so far, Taylor Raddysh is leading the Rangers in scoring with four goals. Right behind him are Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad, each contributing three goals. When it comes to total points, Fox and Artemi Panarin top the team with seven points apiece. Panarin has also been the team’s best playmaker, tallying five assists so far. However, defense has been a weak spot for New York lately, as they’ve given up an average of 3.8 goals per game over their last five, a concern they’ll need to address before heading to play Edmonton. Offensively, the Rangers have been averaging just 2.2 goals per game, underscoring some of the issues they’ve faced finishing their chances.
