The best team in the Western Conference is coming to Madison Square Garden on Thursday night, and its the ... Edmonton Oilers?Thats not a misprint; through the 10 games, the Oilers are 7-2-1 and its not outlandish to think that their game against the 7-3-0 New York Rangers is a potential Stanley Cup Final preview. Sure, each team has 72 games remaining and the calendar just flipped to November, but this is the marquee matchup on the NHL schedule.The Oilers are coming off a 3-2 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Tuesday night, one that saw budding superstars Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews go head-to-head for the first time. McDavid who entered the game as the NHL leader and points, was held off the scoresheet.He was also the object of Leafs coach Mike Babcocks passive criticism of his usage; Oilers coach Todd McLellan gave McDavid 22:46 of ice time, the second-most minutes hes played this season and an unusually high amount for even an elite forward like McDavid.No, no. If you keep your shifts short and all that, I feel like Im in pretty good shape, McDavid said to ESPN. I feel like I can do that. It is what it is.McDavid played a season-high 23:27 in a season-opening 7-4 win in Calgary and had two goals and an assist. He has been held pointless over the past two games, so Thursday against the Rangers could reveal hes in a slump or show he was due for a breakout game.This is also a homecoming for goaltender Cam Talbot, who was a backup goaltender for the Rangers for two seasons before joining the Oilers last season. He is among the league leaders in goals-against average (2.14) and save percentage (.932) and should get the start Thursday.I feel pretty confident, Talbot said to the Edmonton Journal. Its going to be a good test for us, two good teams, its going to be a battle out there. I have to be ready to bring my A game and give us a chance to win.Theres not much to say about it, Oilers coach Todd McLellan said to the Edmonton Journal. We watch him every night and hes played tremendous. Its not even alarming for us -- thats just how he plays night in and night out.Talbot may have to bring something more than an A game against the Rangers, who lead the league with an average of four goals per game. In their past two matchups against the Tampa Bay Lightning and St. Louis Blues -- two perennially quality teams -- they have scored 11 goals and allowed one.The most encouraging part of that two-game stretch was Henrik Lundqvist making 35 saves in a shutout of the Blues. Lundqvist had a .901 save percentage in October but used one outstanding start to get to .917 and perhaps remind people hes still an elite goaltender.He will need to be sharp again with McDavid and the Oilers -- who are seventh in scoring with 3.10 goals per game -- looking to show they are the real deal in a tough road matchup.Obviously you see (McDavids) highlights every night, Dan Girardi said to the Daily News. Hes making big plays every game. Hes a big-time player. Obviously were going to have to pay special attention to him. But their whole team is playing well right now, which is helping.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska?plans to pay tribute to punter Sam Foltz by leaving his locker untouched this football season, among other tributes that include a helmet decal to be worn in games.Foltz and former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler died on July 23 in a car accident after working at a kicking camp in Wisconsin. About 1,500 people attended Foltzs funeral Saturday in Grand Island, Nebraska.The Cornhuskers held their annual Fan Day on Wednesday at Memorial Stadium and spoke to reporters for the first time since the death of their teammate. The Huskers skipped their scheduled July 25 session at Big Ten media days.Preseason practice opens Thursday.Itll be on my mind, but at the same time, I know that he would want us to do what we do best, senior quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. said, and thats play for him and continue to make strides and know that he was a key factor in making us a better team.Nebraska announced Wednesday that it would award an annual football scholarship in Foltzs name in addition to its Hero Leadership Award, of which Foltz was an honoree this year.Riley, like his players, continues to struggle with Foltzs death, he said.My personal advice to myself is to do it like he did it, the coach said, enjoy [life] like he did. I dont want to sound dramatic about that or disrespectful in any way. For me, thats just something I loved about him, and I would love for every person to feel like he did about his field.Foltz was a first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2015 and a five-time member of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll.dddddddddddd.Its going to be hard, said place kicker Drew Brown, a good friend of Foltz who also attended the camp in Wisconsin. Its going to be hard tomorrow when were out there warming up and hes not by our side, punting and holding for me.But at the same time, were here for a reason. And were here to play football. And thats what he would want me to do. He would want me to be there mentally on the field, playing at my best and just helping the team win. Its going to be hard, but weve got to be able to do it.Riley said the Huskers are slowly moving forward.Weve talked to a lot of people, good people right here in this building, who have a lot of advice about how people might continue to react, he said. I cant give a general answer to that because I dont think there is a general answer.Defensive end Ross Dzuris, like Foltz a walk-on at one time, said he would remember the many life sayings Foltz delivered to teammates. To honor Foltz, Dzuris said, he would play hard every day and remain excited no matter the circumstances.Thats the kind of guy he was, Dzuris said. I just think he would be happy if we kept playing with that kind of attitude, just one day at a time. He had a lot of sayings, and Im sure guys will keep saying them every day this year. ' ' '
