Overview

  • Trent Frederic scored the decisive goal and Adam Henrique sealed it with an empty-netter to give the Oilers the victory at MSG.
  • New York is the first NHL team ever to be blanked in each of its first three home games, a drought that ranks second all time to the 1928 Pittsburgh Pirates’ 187:19 start.
  • Players and coach Mike Sullivan said the team controlled play and produced quality looks, citing hot goaltending from Skinner and, earlier, Washington’s Charlie Lindgren.
  • The power play came up empty again on Tuesday and frustration surfaced in the building, though the Rangers emphasized patience and sticking to their process.
  • The Blueshirts have 10 goals in two road wins and now head to Toronto and Montreal before their next home chance to end the skid on Monday against Minnesota.
