After last night’s dismantling of the Calgary Flames, the Rangers travel to Edmonton to complete two sweeps. A win tonight in Edmonton would sweep the series against the Oilers, and also sweep the Alberta trip. The Oilers are not as bad as the Flames, as they have some serious offensive talent in their top-nine. That said, they lack defensive depth, and are 2-4-1 after their hot 7-1-0 start.
For the Rangers, they will look to build on the win last night, which came after a disheartening loss to the Canucks. A strong win against a potentially deadly offense represents another step in the right direction for a team that has proven to be dominant thus far this season.
