CoachTodd McLellanalso had positive words for the Rangers, saying, “The Rangers, in my opinion, are if not the best team in the league, then one of the top two or three right now. They’ve decided that they want to play a certain way and it matches the way the coaching staff attempts to play. They went out and got pieces that fit those holes and as a result, maybe some players that weren’t successful with other organizations have come in there and fit their identity well and all of sudden, they’re having success.”
The Oilers are hoping to slow down that explosive attack tonight. Early starts have been a problem for them, as they have given up a goal less than two minutes into the game in four of their last six contests.
That is a start the Oilers have to avoid against the Rangers. Putting themselves in an early hole against a team with as strong an offense as the Rangers could spell trouble.
