Tuesday should provide an excellent night of hockey, as the Rangers and Islanders will face off against a pair of Stanley Cup favorites. The Rangers will host the Winnipeg Jets, who are off to a historic start with 14 wins in 15 games.

Edmonton Oilers winger Jeff Skinner paces the club in both shots (12.21) and attempts (20.82) per 60 minutes, and his respective 12.02 and 20.73 marks also lead the way at 5-on-5.

The New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers enter this game on similar trajectories. It is surprising, as last year’s Stanley Cup runner-ups looked like a team that could follow a similar path as last year’s Florida Panthers and win the cup on their second opportunity.
