Will Cuylle put four shots on goal against Los Angeles without recording a point. New York lost 6–3, but the box score still shows why a shot target can offer a different way into a Rangers game than asking a player to score. For Sunday’s matchup with Edmonton, Cuylle’s two-shot line joins an Adam Fox point over and a Vasily Podkolzin assist under.
These Rangers parlay picks work from a hypothetical New York moneyline win, quoted at −130 by DraftKings at 7:52 a.m. EST on November 1. The Oilers visit Madison Square Garden on November 1 at 6 p.m. EST. New York is 7–6–1 and Edmonton 10–2–2; a Rangers win is the premise for comparing the props, not something those records or the individual hit rates promise.

Fox’s and Podkolzin’s rows cover their appearances for their current teams across 2025–26 and 2026–27, including postseason games. Cuylle’s row uses this season only, with his weaker two-season record discussed below. Each all-game column uses the same team, dates and participation rules as its corresponding result-filtered column, with wins and losses both included. The prices are individual quotes; multiplying these historical rates would not give the probability of a winning parlay.
Adam Fox over 0.5 points (−205)
One goal or one assist is enough for this option. Fox supplied a goal but no assist in the Rangers’ latest game, the 6–3 loss to Los Angeles. His previous two appearances brought four assists against Toronto and two against Ottawa. Those are three different scoring totals, and all three clear a one-point target.
Across the two seasons, Fox recorded a point in 28 of 33 Rangers wins (84.8%), compared with 44 of 69 appearances overall (63.8%). This season, he has a point in all seven New York wins and 11 of 14 appearances overall. The winning split is encouraging, while the all-game count makes clear that a point isn’t automatic every time he dresses.
The less expensive alternative is over 0.5 assists at −160. That cleared in 26 of the same 33 wins and 40 of 69 appearances overall. Both options cleared all seven wins this season, but buying the goal-or-assist route retains two additional winning games in the longer record. One was the March 12 win over Winnipeg: Fox had one goal and no assists as New York won 6–3.
The extra coverage still has limits. In the April 15 win over Tampa Bay, Fox played 21:32 and finished with no points in a 4–2 Rangers victory. That remains one of the five winning misses. His current top-pair listing supports expected participation, but a teammate still has to finish a play for an assist to count, or Fox has to score himself. The broader points market buys another scoring route, not a guaranteed contribution to every win.
Vasily Podkolzin under 0.5 assists (−340)
This asks Podkolzin to finish with no assists. It doesn’t ask him to have no goals, no shots or no impact. He scored in Edmonton’s latest 4–0 win over the Islanders without an assist. He also scored without an assist in the 4–3 loss to Detroit on October 26, a result that fits this article’s Edmonton-loss side of the premise.
The assist under cleared in 40 of 49 Oilers losses (81.6%) across the two seasons, against 79 of 102 appearances overall (77.5%). In the current season, it cleared all four Edmonton losses and 10 of 14 appearances. The longer all-game rate is close to the losing rate, so this is a common individual outcome rather than a clean dividing line between Oilers wins and losses.
The price is heavy. A cheaper under 0.5 points at −135 would require Podkolzin to have neither a goal nor an assist. That cleared in 31 of 49 losses and 55 of 102 appearances overall. The assist-only under retains nine additional losing games, including that Detroit game when his goal would have beaten the points under. Paying −340 keeps his own goal from spoiling the option.
There are nine losing counterexamples even at the assist-only line. In the April 22 playoff loss to Anaheim, Podkolzin had an assist and three shots as Edmonton lost 6–4. One setup in his 16:14 of ice time was enough to beat the under, despite the Edmonton loss.
Today’s expected line places him with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl; that assignment is unconfirmed. That’s a material reason to respect his assist route, especially with Zach Hyman on injured reserve. McDavid has an assist in all 14 appearances this season, including Edmonton’s losses; a New York win needn’t mean the Oilers’ skill players stop producing. The case for Podkolzin’s under rests on his own assist record and the distinction between goals and assists, with that strong listed company kept in view.
Will Cuylle over 1.5 shots on goal (−125)
Cuylle has put at least two shots on goal in all seven Rangers wins this season and 10 of his 14 appearances overall (71.4%). His shots in those wins were three, two, two, four, three, four and three. A shot can satisfy this target without becoming a goal, which is what makes it useful alongside Fox’s scoring requirement.
The current-season scope matters here. Across both seasons, the same two-shot target cleared in only 25 of 41 Rangers wins and 52 of 96 appearances overall. This is a stronger recent pattern, not an established two-season perfect record. Last season’s April 15 win over Tampa Bay is one counterexample: Cuylle had one shot and an assist in 14:39 as New York won 4–2.
The nearby thresholds show the tradeoff. One or more shots at −525 cleared the same seven wins this season and 13 of 14 appearances overall, while also clearing 36 of 41 wins across both seasons. At the other end, three or more shots at +230 cleared five of seven wins and seven of 14 appearances this season. Moving from three to two keeps the two winning games when Cuylle finished with exactly two shots, without paying for the one-shot floor.
His four shots against Los Angeles came with no goals or assists. Conversely, he had a goal and an assist against Ottawa on October 24 but only one shot, so a productive scoring line would still have missed this target. He has appeared in all 14 current-season games; that supports regular participation, without confirming a particular line assignment or today’s minutes. Seven winning games remains a small basis for expecting the recent shot pattern to continue.
New York’s goalie listing has Dylan Garand unconfirmed, while Edmonton lists Matt Tomkins as confirmed. Those statuses belong in the wider game view before attaching a moneyline. Check the live Oilers–Rangers matchup for updates and explore more analysis in our NHL coverage. Fox’s scoring route, Podkolzin’s assist restriction and Cuylle’s shot count each add a different demand to the proposed Rangers win.
