What It Means:

Just four nights ago, Nilsson allowed five goals on 34 shots to the Rangers, though the Oilers managed to pull off the 7-5 win anyway. Then again, he allowed two goals or fewer in seven of the previous 10 games.

Nilsson owns a .917 save percentage and 2.65 goals-against average in 18 games. Our projections for tonight don't see him faring well against the Rangers. We project Nilsson to allow 2.82 goals while making 27.38 saves with a 28 percent chance of getting the win.
