The Edmonton Oilers are home favorites over the New York Rangers ahead of their 8 p.m. ET puck drop at Rogers Place on Monday, Nov. 9.

My favorite Rangers vs. Oilers prediction and NHL picks expect Edmonton superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to leave their mark on the game sheet in winning fashion tonight.

 TOP PICK
Rangers vs Oilers prediction: Oilers moneyline

The Edmonton Oilers outscore their underlying shortcomings, and the New York Rangers are struggling defensively and in goal, so I recommend this Oilers moneyline up to 65%.

Edmonton also received a nice boost in net with Devin Levi returning Saturday, and he’s up to a .912 save percentage with a respectable 3.85 goals saved above expected across his past seven games.

In the opposite crease, Rangers rookie Dylan Garand has an .848 SV% with -5.5 GSAx through his past four road starts.

With New York allowing the seventh-most goals per game (3.7) and 10th-most expected goals per 60 minutes (3.5) across their past 10 games, Edmonton is set to pull away at home Monday night.

Covers COVERS INTEL: The Oilers have allowed the fifth-fewest expected goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five when adjusted for score.

Rangers vs Oilers combo

Pairing the Under with Edmonton superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each putting up a multipoint night boosts the return of this combo. As noted, the Oilers have Levi back and have also allowed the fewest goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five across their past six games.

Of course, McDavid and Draisaitl rank first and second in points per 60 minutes, and they’ve been on the ice for 8.49 goals per 60 this season. McDavid has also recorded multiple points in 13 of 18 games this season, while Draisaitl has a multipoint showing in four of his past five and 11 of 18 games this year.

Rangers vs Oilers combo

  • Under 6.5
  • Connor McDavid 2+ points
  • Leon Draisaitl 2+ points

Rangers vs Oilers player prop: Tye Kartye 2+ shots

With New York winger Tye Kartye recording two or more shots in eight of his past nine games, I recommend this prop to 58%.

He’s skating in a consistent top-six role and has been jumping the boards with the No. 2 power-play unit each of the past three games. Kartye’s underlying 50.8 Corsi For percentage and 50.4% shot share at 5-on-5 are also positives alongside his overall 14.11 attempts per 60 minutes ranking fourth among New York forwards during the nine-game stretch.

Rangers vs Oilers goal scorer: Connor McDavid

This goal prop is in play up to 52% because McDavid has only scored twice across his past eight games with an 8.3% shooting percentage despite piling up an impressive 2.83 individual expected goals and a team-high 11 high-danger scoring chances. 

Additionally, his 15.2% shooting percentage over the past four regular seasons indicates there’s statistical correction coming to his recent highlighted mark, and the goals are coming for No. 97.
