Rangers vs. Oilers Prediction, NHL Odds & Best Bets (11/9)

Fact checked at 9:42 AM ET, Nov 9, 2026

Odds as of 8:31 AM ET, Nov 9, 2026

The Rangers (10-7-1) visit the Oilers (12-3-3) at 8:00 PM ET at Rogers Place, eight days after Edmonton won 4-1 at Madison Square Garden. Edmonton scores 4.11 goals per game, the most in the league. New York has won three straight and comes in from Seattle, the second stop on a four-game Western trip. Both teams played two nights ago, so neither is on a back-to-back.

We expect goals at both ends of the ice. Edmonton's top line should keep producing at home, and the Rangers have a way to answer: Devon Levi, Edmonton's expected starter, has a save percentage under .890, and the Oilers kill only 75.0% of their penalties. Edmonton is a -159 favorite, and the total is 6.5. New York hasn't confirmed its goalie. Dylan Garand and Joonas Korpisalo have both been projected, with Igor Shesterkin out for the season. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is day-to-day after taking a puck to the head two nights ago.

Rangers vs. Oilers Predictions

• Pick #1: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 Points (-130)
• Pick #2: Adam Fox Over 0.5 Assists (-135)

PICK #1: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 Points (-130)

McDavid has a point in all 18 games this season and two or more in 13 of them. In the win at Madison Square Garden he had a goal and an assist, and he set up three goals against Vancouver in his last game. That's 47 points already, 2.61 a game. The price implies 56.5%, and he has cleared this line 72.2% of the time.

Nothing about his role has changed. He centers Vasily Podkolzin and Leon Draisaitl, who has 34 points of his own, and he runs the top power-play unit for a team converting 33.8% of its chances.

New York is the obstacle. The Rangers kill 89.1% of their penalties and allow 2.89 goals per game, and a tight, low-event night would sink this. Last season he reached two points in 43 of 82 games, which is below this price, so you are betting on the current version of McDavid. If Nugent-Hopkins sits, the top unit loses a piece, but McDavid's own minutes stay the same.

PICK #2: Adam Fox Over 0.5 Assists (-135)

Fox is the Rangers' side of the scoring. He has 20 assists in 18 games and at least one in 13 of them, against the 57.4% that -135 implies. He has four assists in New York's last three games, all wins. He plays about 22 and a half minutes a night on the top pair with Vladislav Gavrikov and runs the top power-play unit.

Edmonton's weaknesses line up with his strengths. The Oilers' penalty kill sits at 75.0%, Levi's save percentage is under .890, and if McDavid's line builds a lead, the Rangers will have to push with the puck on Fox's stick.

He had no assist in the loss at Madison Square Garden, and none in either meeting with Edmonton last season. Last season he had an assist in 30 of 55 games, under this price, so his form this season is carrying the case. If Edmonton keeps the puck and the Rangers rarely get set up in the offensive zone, this one misses.
