• The Edmonton Oilers look to pull out of a rough stretch and knock off one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference when they host the New York Rangers on Sunday night. The Oilers have dropped consecutive games at Pittsburgh and at home against Dallas, falling to 2-4-1 in their last seven outings after a tremendous start to the season that had them on top of the Western Conference.

• The Rangers will pose stiff competition after notching their sixth win in seven games Saturday with a 4-1 triumph at Calgary, and boast a league-best 62 goals in 15 contests (4.13 per outing). Michael Grabner continued a strong start by notching his team-leading eighth goal against the Flames while rookie Jimmy Vesey scored his seventh. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist has allowed two goals or fewer in seven of his 11 starts this season for the Rangers after stopping 35 of 36 shots on Saturday.

• Forward J.T. Miller recorded his ninth assist Saturday to take over the team lead in points with 14 for the balanced Rangers, who boast 14 players with at least eight.
