Overview
- Laba scored at 1:01 of overtime on a backhand set up by Gabe Perreault for his first preseason goal after leading the team in assists.
- Igor Shesterkin stopped 21 of 22 shots over two periods and looked ready for opening night before giving way to Dylan Garand.
- New York was outshot 32-19 and out-attempted 70-34 and did not draw a power play in the win at UBS Arena.
- The Cuylle–Parssinen–Perreault line drove play, with Will Cuylle scoring, Juuso Parssinen netting the opener, and Perreault recording two assists.
- Garand yielded the tying goal to Tony DeAngelo in the third period; Sam Carrick sat as a precaution with a lower-body issue and is day-to-day as two preseason games remain before the Oct. 7 opener.
