Today is November 1st. Alright, so the New York Rangers are gearing up to face the Edmonton Oilers today at 6pm Eastern. This is the first of two matchups in a nine day span, so it's definitely a game you won't want to miss. November is going to be a busy month for the Rangers. They've got 13 games lined up, with 7 at home and 6 on the road.

The next three games are at the Garden, so the home crowd is going to be buzzing. The Rangers are looking solid this season, tied for the league lead with 6 wins. At home, they've racked up 12 points, and they keep it tight defensively, allowing just 2 29 goals against per game. That's no small feat, and they're on a hot streak at home, scoring 3 or more goals in every game so far. That's the longest active streak in the NHL this season. Plus, they've lit the lamp 4 more times in 8 games, tying them for fifth in that category.

Lastly, their defense is bringing it too.

The Rangers rank third in the league for penalty kills with a solid 90.5% success rate. They're playing smart, and with their depth and assist from defensemen, it's all contributing to a balanced attack. Gonna be interesting to see how they carry this momentum forward.
