It's November 1st. Alright, let's break down the latest with the Rangers as they gear up for a busy stretch. They're kicking off November with a home game against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.

This is part of a crazy 8 games and 16 days schedule, so things are going to get real intense. The Rangers come into this matchup with a record of 7 wins, 6 losses, and 1 overtime loss, but they're looking to bounce back after a tough 3 game losing streak.

Their last game was a 6-3 loss to the Kings, which also marked their first home loss of the season. Tough break for sure.

Coach Mike Sullivan's keeping folks guessing on the lineup, especially with defenseman Sean Durzi and Braden Schneider both missing practice. They did recall Matthew Robertson from Harvard, so it seems like they're prepping for anything. Meanwhile, goalie Dylan Garand is starting again, marking his 10th appearance. He's been holding down the fort since Igor Shesterkin's injury. And Sunday's opponent, the Oilers are no walk in the park.

They're currently the highest scoring team in the league, averaging over 4 goals a game. With Connor McDavid leading the way and off to an incredible start, the Rangers will need to tighten up defensively to keep that scoring in check. It's going to be a real test. So, mark your calendars because this matchup kicks off at 6pm ET at Madison Square Garden. It'll be interesting to see if the Rangers can turn things around against the tough Oilers squad.
