New York Rangers vs Edmonton Prediction 14 October 2025
📣 In another NHL regular season matchup, the Rangers will host the Oilers at Madison Square Garden. In recent years, McDavid and his team have dominated their head-to-head clashes with the Blueshirts. Can Igor Shesterkin handle the Canadian star and his German counterpart? We’ll find out soon enough.
Head-to-Head
Last season, the Rangers and the Oilers faced off twice, with the Alberta team coming out on top in both encounters. In Canada, the Oilers routed the New York squad with a commanding 6-2 victory. Artemi Panarin responded to Connor McDavid's brace with two goals of his own, but the Russian forward's efforts were in vain as his teammates couldn't provide the necessary support that night. On the road, the Oilers triumphed again, this time with a more modest 3-1 scoreline. Corey Perry was still part of the Canadian lineup back then, although he moved to California over the summer and has yet to make his NHL debut.
Head-to-head statistics New York Rangers - Edmonton
New York Rangers Team Overview
In the first week, the Rangers faced the toughest schedule. They played four games and secured 4 points. It all began with a debacle against the Penguins, where Panarin and company failed to score against the black and gold. Next, they traveled to Buffalo and ruthlessly dispatched the Sabres with a 4-0 victory. In their third game, the Blueshirts avenged their earlier loss to the Penguins with a commanding 6-1 win. Finally, the Rangers wrapped up this grueling stretch with a game against Washington, where they simply ran out of steam for a comeback. Zibanejad and his teammates managed to fire 35 shots at Charlie Lindgren's net but couldn't find a way past the goalie. Vincent Trocheck and Carson Soucy will miss the game against Edmonton. These are significant absences, and their unavailability could impact results in the near future.

Edmonton Oilers Team Overview
The Oilers kicked off the season with a home loss. Draisaitl and his crew led against Calgary but fell short in this intense clash with the Flames. Chris Knoblauch's squad converted on two power plays but couldn't contain Connor Zary while shorthanded. In their second matchup against Vancouver, Knoblauch's team bounced back, defeating the Canucks 3-1. Andrew Mangiapane and Leon Draisaitl each found the net for the second consecutive game. The Oilers outshot Vancouver by more than double and played with greater discipline. It's worth noting that the blue-and-orange are starting the season without Zach Hyman, Mattias Janmark, and Jake Walman. Former Khabarovsk Amur forward David Tomášek will continue to feature on Edmonton's top power-play unit alongside the team's stars.

🏒 Projected Lineups
Rangers: Shesterkin - Gavrikov, Fox - Panarin, Zibanejad, Lafrenière
Edmonton: Pickard - Ekholm, Bouchard - Draisaitl, McDavid, Frederick
🥅 Goaltenders
Igor Shesterkin has been the Rangers' go-to netminder for several seasons now. At the start of this season, Igor has already played in three games and secured a shutout against Buffalo, making 37 saves. Last season, Shesterkin appeared in 61 games, posting a goals-against average of 2.86.
Edmonton fans are likely eager to see Connor Ingram in action, but for now, it seems we'll continue to see Skinner and Pickard between the pipes. After some less-than-stellar performances against Calgary, it's expected that Skinner will give way to Pickard for the second consecutive time. In the matchup against Vancouver, Calvin stopped 14 of 15 shots.
Editor's Prediction
For the upcoming game, we suggest considering a bet on Edmonton to win in regulation time. The Rangers have had time to recuperate after a tough week, but the Oilers have enjoyed a more forgiving schedule. The Blueshirts will be without Trocheck and Soucy; the former is crucial on the power play, while the latter would have been instrumental in containing the lethal Canadian power play led by McDavid. Betting on the blue-and-orange seems optimal, as they have won six of the last ten head-to-head matchups against the Rangers.
