Plenty for Rangers to feel good about despite 3-1 road loss to Oilers: key takeaways
Let’s start with this: Mike Sullivan and Co. are not looking for moral victories. No, the New York Rangers instead […]
The New York Rangers fell 3-1 to the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at Rogers Place, but there were several positives to take from the loss. The Rangers neutralized the Oilers for long stretches, allowing only two high-danger scoring chances 5v5 throughout the game, and outshot them 29-20 overall. They dominated in the final two periods, giving up just six shots on goal in each period.
Rookie goalie Dylan Garand made timely saves, such as on an odd-man rush led by Draisaitl early in the third period. Despite the loss, the Rangers' defensive play was a bright spot, and if they continue to compete hard and play with confidence, they could earn their way back into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
