We like the New York Rangers to defeat the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday at 10:07pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

The Oilers lost their last game by a score of 5-3 against the Minnesota Wild. They are 4-6-1 at home now on the season.

The Rangers are playing better on the road themselves. They have a 7-2-0 record away from home.

Edmonton have not done so well against the teams with winning records this season. It's not as bad as last year, but the Oilers haven't been on their game.

NYR are 11-4 over their L15 games played against teams from the Western Conference.

In their L16 games overall, they are 11-5.

This is a good bounce back spot for the Rangers. They will prevail on Saturday.
