These are a pair of teams off to poor starts but Edmonton has more all-around talent and balance than rebuilding New York. Edmonton has only played two games so far this season. Connor McDavid is a star and they've upgraded the roster with Tobias Rieder and Mikko Koskinen, along with defensemen Jakub Jerabek and Kevin Gravel. They match up well with a N.Y. Rangers squad off a last-place finish last season, and riding a 16-36 run. New York is again in last place, ranked #18 in goals scored, #22 on the power play, while the defense is #24 in goals scored, and #19 in penalty killing. And the Rangers are 10-25 when playing on one day of rest. Play Edmonton.
