Edmonton Oilers goalie Anders Nilsson is expected to start Friday night.
This is nothing surprising as Nilsson has been the first-choice goalie for the Oilers since the beginning of November. He'll face the New York Rangers, a team averaging 2.8 goals per game, which ranks seventh.
Nilsson has a .921 save percentage and a 2.51 goals against average in 17 contests this season. We project Nilsson to face 28.00 shots against the Rangers, allowing 2.72 goals and giving himself just a 38 percent chance at earning the victory.
