Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers Prediction & Picks, November 9, 2026

Both the Edmonton Oilers and the New York Rangers have been playing solid defense lately, which makes me think this game could be low-scoring. Neither team has a lot of players who have reached double-digit games yet this season, showing they're still figuring things out. With both teams leaning heavily on left shooters, the chances of getting a lot of goals drop even more. Looking at how our numbers see it, this matchup is very close, almost like a coin flip. Our model expects about 5.8 total goals, so betting on under 6.5 seems smart. The biggest risk is that both teams have talent that might break through, but if they keep up their defensive play, we could be looking at a tight game.

Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers: New York Rangers +1.5 Puck Line (-179)

The New York Rangers are up against a tough Edmonton Oilers team that has been winning more than losing lately. However, the Rangers have shown they can take hits and block shots, keeping games close. They land more hits than average, which shows they're not afraid to get physical. This could help them control the game pace and limit the Oilers' scoring chances. Betting on the Rangers with a +1.5 cushion is a smart move. They've won 4 of their last 10 games, showing they can compete, but it's important to note they're facing a solid Oilers squad that has won 6 of their last 10. This matchup looks close, so taking the Rangers to stay within that goal margin feels like a good option.

Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers: New York Rangers 3-Way Moneyline (+200)

The New York Rangers have been a bit shaky lately, winning only 4 of their last 10 games. However, they do bring a strong defense, blocking more shots than average and landing plenty of hits. This shows they can make it tough for their opponents, and they'll need that against an Edmonton Oilers team that has been on a roll, winning 6 of their last 10. Despite the Oilers' recent success, the Rangers are considered an underdog with a real shot to win. The odds at +200 give good value for a team that can put up a fight. The biggest risk here is that the Oilers are playing at home, where they usually play better. Still, this matchup could be closer than expected, so taking a chance on the Rangers might be worth it.

Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers: Connor McDavid Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+146)

Connor McDavid has been in solid form lately, helping the Edmonton Oilers win six of their last ten games. He's a key player who often finds ways to get shots off, and the Oilers average a good number of hits and blocked shots this season. This suggests they're aggressive and pushing the pace, which should create chances for McDavid to take his shots. Betting on him to have over 3.5 shots on goal seems smart, especially with the Rangers struggling a bit, winning only four of their last ten. However, the risk is that both teams are close in skill, so it might not be easy for McDavid to find those openings. Still, he's known for stepping up in big moments, and this matchup could be one of those times.

Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Over 0.5 Assists (+172)

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has been looking sharp lately, playing well as the Edmonton Oilers have won six of their last ten games. He's been involved in the action, and with the Oilers playing at home, it's a great chance for him to rack up assists against the New York Rangers. The Rangers have struggled, winning only four of their last ten, which could give Nugent-Hopkins more opportunities to set up goals. The bet is for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to get at least one assist in this game. While it's a close matchup, the risk is that both teams are blocking shots well, with the Rangers averaging a bit more than the Oilers. Still, at these odds, it feels like a solid pick for a player who's been in the mix lately.

Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers: Zach Hyman Yes Anytime Goal Scorer (+210)

The New York Rangers are known for being tough, especially with their solid shot-blocking and physical play. However, the Edmonton Oilers have been in better form lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games. Zach Hyman has been a key player for the Oilers, and with the way he's been scoring, there's a good chance he can find the back of the net in this game. Hyman has a real shot to score, especially with the Oilers being at home. The biggest concern is that the Rangers are also tough defensively, blocking a lot of shots. Still, at those odds, betting on Hyman to score seems promising.
