The Rangers have been playing some great hockey and are coming off of a 5-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.
"All four lines are scoring big goals. Maybe in the past it's been more about the first line," goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said after the win against Colorado, according to NHL.com. "It's great to see the competition between the lines. They all want to be the line to score the big goal."
Lundqvist will make way for backup Cam Talbot to start tonight, who is 10-4-0 with a 1.78 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage. He'll likely be opposed by Ben Scrivens, who is 9-8-4 with a 2.03 GAA and a .935 save percentage.
The Oilers are coming off of a 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday.
"The guys have been great, from the top of the organization through the coaching staff through every player," Matt Hendricks told NHL.com after the game. "They really have a class-act organization."
Edmonton has been led by Taylor Hall, who has 54 points off of 19 goals and 35 assists while Jordan Eberle has 19 markers and 26 helpers for 45 points and Ryan-Nugent Hopkins has lit the lamp 15 times and added 27 assists for 42 points.
