New York Rangers vs Edmonton Prediction 16 March 2025
🔊 Will the home team be able to return to the playoff zone in the East? The Rangers continue to fight for the right to play in the Stanley Cup playoffs, but have recently been struggling significantly with scoring points. Edmonton, on the other hand, continues its road tour against Eastern Conference clubs, and so far, it cannot be considered successful.
Head-to-Head
In the current regular season, the opponents have already met once. At the end of November, the "Oilers" left the "Rangers" with no chances on their home ice in Alberta (6:2). There was no real contest; by the end of the first period, the current visitors had scored two unanswered goals and completely took the initiative. The decisive contribution to his team's success was made by Edmonton's captain, Connor McDavid. The Canadian scored a brace and provided an assist. There's no need to discuss the current form of one of the best hockey players of today. The forward has accumulated 85 points in 60 games and is likely to soon reach another career hundred.
Head-to-head statistics New York Rangers - Edmonton
New York Rangers Team Overview
The team under Peter Laviolette repeatedly loses points at the crucial moment of the season. In the last five matches, the "Blueshirts" suffered four defeats and only managed to edge out Minnesota in overtime (3:2). Under normal circumstances, in such a situation, the club would gradually lose its chances of making it to the playoffs. But the home team is clearly lucky. Direct competitors are making no fewer errors, leaving them with chances. The "Rangers" trail Columbus for the eighth spot in the East only because of the number of games played (they have one more). Both teams have accumulated 70 points, and the entire battle is evidently still ahead.
Match Results: New York Rangers
Edmonton Oilers Team Overview
The away series of matches against Eastern Conference clubs is proving to be quite challenging for the "Oilers." Losses to Buffalo (2:3) and New Jersey (2:3) have only highlighted the team's vulnerability at the last line of defense. Meanwhile, Leon Draisaitl continues to solidify his status as one of the league's top scorers, having already scored 49 goals. Reaching the elite fifty is just a matter of time. Chris Knoblauch's team managed to defeat the Islanders (2:1) in their last match solely thanks to the efforts of the star German forward, who scored a brace. On one hand, the forward's actions deserve high praise. On the other hand, the lack of depth in the attack is becoming increasingly apparent. In the playoffs, this will definitely impact Edmonton's results.
Match Results: Edmonton Oilers
📌 Probable Lineups
Rangers: Shesterkin - Miller, Borgen - Lafrenière, Trocheck, Panarin
Edmonton: Skinner - Walman, Bouchard - Henrique, McDavid, Hyman
🥅 Goalkeepers
Rangers' goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin is gradually returning to his best form. The Russian has twice in a row maintained a 91% save rate. It's not his fault that his teammates didn't capitalize on his heroic saves and managed to score only one goal against Winnipeg (1:2).
Edmonton's goalkeeper Stuart Skinner continues to be the weakest link in the team. In the last five matches, the Canadian has only once maintained a 90% save rate and achieved a home victory over Montreal.
Editorial Prediction
The "Rangers" are in dire need of points. The team is on the brink of the Eastern Conference playoff spots, and this home game simply must be successful for them. Moreover, the visitors are clearly struggling to achieve acceptable results. The "Oilers" failed to win in regulation time in 10 out of their last 11 away games. Traveling to the East is proving very challenging for Chris Knoblauch's team. In our opinion, the home side will capitalize on this situation and at least secure a draw. We recommend the bet - Rangers will not lose.
