After handing the Vancouver Canucks one of the most shocking defeats in the season so far, the Edmonton Oilers are traveling to New York to meet the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Oct. 14, 7:00 p.m. ET. On the other hand, the Rangers are still reeling from the devastating 1-0 loss at home against the Washington Capitals.

Rangers vs. Oilers: Who is Out Tonight?
After a fantastic showing against the Canucks, Oilers fans got the redemption they desperately needed on home ice. But will they be able to keep that momentum heading to the concrete jungle?
According to Draisaitl, a good start could ensure the team’s ticket to the playoffs: “You can build a lot of momentum, a lot of confidence within your group if you get off to a good start. You see it with a lot of teams – they get off to a really good start, then they just kind of carry it the rest of the way. They’re a playoff team.”
Could the win against the Canucks be the Oilers’ starting point? Edmonton doesn’t have Zach Hyman, Mattias Janmark, or Jake Walman. According to reports, Hyman won’t return until Nov. 1. The Rangers have three players out of the lineup, including Carson Soucy, veteran center Vincent Trocheck, because of an upper-body injury, and Brandon Scanlin.
Will the Rangers be able to salvage their reputation at home after the humbling defeat against the Capitals, or will Edmonton carry on its phenomenal form from the game against the Canucks?
