After embarking on a west coast swing through California earlier this month, the Rangers have traveled across the continent once again. Tonight’s game in Edmonton marks the beginning of the Blueshirts’ annual road trip through western Canada, as they’ll look to avoid getting swept by Connor McDavid’s Oilers’ in the season series.
The Oilers walked into Madison Square Garden back on October 12th and handed David Quinn’s squad their first defeat of the season by a 4-1 margin. Although the 2019 calendar year has been a rough one for the Blueshirts, a win tonight to kickstart the road trip could go a long way towards building momentum for a successful 2020.
