Edmonton has lost two overtime games in a row to New Jersey and New York Islanders, but the Oilers look to bounce back against the Rangers, who are missing at least five players due to COVID protocols. It's a back-to-back spot for New York, who will likely have Alexander Georgiev in net after Igor Shesterkin had 38 saves while beating Tampa Bay 4-0 on Sunday. Georgiev has a 2.87 goals-against average and 5-3-1-1 record. Mikko Koskinen is probable for the Oilers and he is 12-6-1-0 this season. Edmonton has won the last five meetings, including 6-5 in OT on Nov. 5 and the Oilers are 17-8 their past 25 games as road favorites. The Rangers are 7-20 versus Pacific Division teams and they have lost five straight after giving up two or fewer goals their previous game. Play the Oilers.
