The Rangers are hot and in an excellent situational spot here. New York is riding a three-game winning streak, including scoring impressive consecutive road victories against the Maple Leafs and Bruins. New York last played on Tuesday. So the Rangers have had ample time to get home and be ready for this matchup.

Edmonton beat the Devils on the road, 6-3, Thursday night. This will be the Oilers' third game in four nights and second in two days.

The Oilers are potent offensively, but have holes defensively. They are giving up an average of 4.5 goals in their last four games. The Oilers rank 26th defensively compared to the Rangers, who allow the eighth-fewest goals per game.
