Preview: Rangers Go For Road Trip Sweep Tonight in Edmonton

Rangers (29-30-6, 64 pts) at Oilers (27-33-4, 58 pts)

10:30 pm; Rogers Place, Edmonton

MSG Network; ESPN 98.7 FM

Tonight is the second and final meeting between the two clubs, with the Rangers edging the Oilers 4-2 at The Garden.
Edmonton comes into tonight's game on a two-game losing streak, as they were beaten Thursday night by the Nashville Predators. They currently sit third from last in the Western Conference.
Unsurprisingly, Connor McDavid leads the club with 29 goals and 77 points through 64 games, followed by Leon Draisailt's 58 in 60 contests.
Former Ranger Cam Talbot is 22-25-2 this season, and has a 3.12 GAA and a .903 SV%.

Players to Watch

Kevin Hayes enters the contest with a three-game assist/point streak against Edmonton (one goal, four assists). Hayes has a three-game point streak during which he scored three goals and added an assist.
While the Oilers have had a disappointing season, McDavid has turned in another strong campaign, though it would be difficult for the 21-year-old to match his 100-point season from a year ago. He enters play with goals in back-to-back games and has eight points in his last five games.
