Hockey betting Edmonton Oilers – New York Rangers: hockey forecast October 27, 2023
The NHL does not let its fans get bored; 11 regular season meetings are scheduled for October 27. We have prepared our forecast for the Edmonton Oilers – New York Rangers hockey.
Edmonton Oilers are off to a bad start to the season
No one expects phenomenal stability from Edmonton, but there should still be more victories than defeats. So far the team is very upset, one win with five failures and the penultimate place in the West. The Oilers are already conceding a lot, as many as 27 goals in six games, but they could have played stronger in attack, given their style. In their last match, the Edmonton Oilers lost to Minnesota with a score of 4:7. Literally 2-3 victories can significantly improve the situation; you can’t get stuck in the back. Three players will miss the upcoming match, of course, one of the attack leaders McDavid will be missed.
New York Rangers among the leaders of the East
Last season, the Rangers easily qualified for the playoffs, but were immediately eliminated there, losing in a thrilling battle to New Jersey with a score of 3:4 in the series. Things are going well this season, the team won 4 victories in six meetings. The club is third in the East, but this is said loudly, because the battle is so tight that the gap from 13th position is only two points. In the last meeting, the Rangers defeated visiting Calgary – 3:1, all three goals were scored in the second period.
Personal meetings
The teams played each other only twice last season, first Edmonton won away – 4:3, and the second meeting ended 4:4 in game time, and in the shootout the Rangers hockey players were more accurate.
Edmonton Oilers / New York Rangers hockey forecast
Even from the quotes it is clear that an exciting and unpredictable match awaits us, since there is no favorite here. The Rangers are playing more consistently at the start of the season, Edmonton alone will host the game in their arena, and the hosts still need a win more. We believe that the teams are able to please with high performance; we bet on the total of more than 5.5 goals scored.
