Prop Bets: Edmonton Oilers VS New York Rangers 2025-10-14
Edmonton Oilers vs. New York Rangers: A Glacial Classic (With Fewer Goals Than a Hockey-Minded Tortoise)
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for a game where the Oilers’ offense moves slower than a Calgary stampede in a snowstorm. The Edmonton Oilers (-135 ML) are here to prove they’re not just a “one-trick, two-goalie” team, but with only 10 goals in two games this season, their scoring output is about as reliable as a Russian roulette wheel. Meanwhile, the Rangers (+115 ML) are banking on Igor Shesterkin’s .976 save percentage to keep them afloat—literally, if this game ends in a shootout.
Why the Under 5.5 Goals (+115) is Your BFF Tonight
Both teams have combined for a pedestrian 25 goals in six games this season. The Oilers have hit the Under in 16 of their last 24 road games, and the Rangers have seen 26 of their last 42 home games go Under. With Shesterkin’s 0.67 GAA and Edmonton’s league-low 1.41 xG against per 60 minutes, this could be a “I’ll take a pass, literally” kind of night. The Over/Under line is 5.5, and the Under is available at +115—because who wants to watch a hockey game with six goals? Not I.
Puck Line Shenanigans
The Oilers are favored by 1.5 goals on the puck line (+175), but let’s be real: Stuart Skinner’s 2.77 GAA is less “wall” and more “sofa” against top-tier teams. The Rangers’ +1.5 line (-215) is a Hail Mary for New York, but with Shesterkin’s 6.51 goals saved above expected, it’s the kind of underdog bet that makes you want to whisper “Please don’t let them score” to your TV.
Player Prop to Steal Your Soul
Andrew Mangiapane Over 1.5 shots on goal (+115) is the same-game parlay cherry on top. Mangiapane’s already got two goals in two games, but shots? He’s a forward who’s more “sniper” than “screamer.” Bet against him, and you’ll feel like the guy who bought the “I ♥ NY” shirt only to realize it’s 40°F and raining.
Final Verdict
This game is a defensive masterclass masquerading as an NHL matchup. The Oilers’ 55.4% Corsi For is meaningless if they can’t beat Shesterkin, and the Rangers’ 15-goal total in four games is about as exciting as a penalty kill. Lay the points, take the Under, and pray Mangiapane doesn’t become your new nemesis.
Pick: Oilers ML (-135), Under 5.5 (+115), Mangiapane Over 1.5 SOG (+115)
Implied Probability Alert: Oilers win ~55.4% (ML -135), Rangers win ~48.8% (ML +115), Under 5.5 goals ~51.3% (Odds -115)
Note: If this game ends 1-0, I’m taking a 10% cut of Igor Shesterkin’s Nobel Prize in Goaltending. 🏆🥅
