Pick
I’m sticking with the Rangers here. Edmonton’s a solid team, but the goaltending has been shaky to put it nicely, looking like the Oilers we saw earlier this season when Campbell and Skinner couldn’t keep the puck out of the net. The Rangers have been scoring goals in bunches since the all-star break and have the better goaltending in this matchup in my opinion. Give me the Rangers here.
