With the score 1-1, Lundqvist made several nice saves early in the third to keep the score tied, and Edmonton’s Matt Benning hit a goalpost at 5:15. New York’s Artemi Panarin was stopped by Smith on a wide-open try from the left side 70 seconds later.
Draisaitl made it 3-1, knocking in a loose puck in front of Lundqvist with 6:42 left. Lundqvist appeared to believe he had smothered the puck, but officials didn’t blow a whistle, and Draisaitl kept whacking at the puck. Lundqvist made a sprawling save diving to his left to deny Alex Chiasson’s tip try on a 2-on-1 about 4 1/2 minutes into the period to preserve the Rangers’ lead.
Smith stopped slap shots by Panarin and Trouba about 90 seconds apart around the midpoint of the second, and one by Brady Skjei with just under 5 minutes left to keep the score tied.
EdmontonOilers Good to see some success...
EdmontonOilers Keep putting them down on your programs. Have the experts explain that its a fluke and they aren't a team that can do anything. Post more Leafs info. Just don't do anything different than what you've been doing for the last 2 weeks.
EdmontonOilers Was about time. Let’s go
EdmontonOilers Way to go. We believe.
EdmontonOilers Oilers fan here, the oilers are winning and we have still yet to see there best game which is a great sign! This team is fun to watch this year!
EdmontonOilers They better hold their parade next week because it's only October 😂
EdmontonOilers It’s been a great start, but still 77 games to go. Like Tip said, we’re doing OK, but still have some areas to clean up. Keep up the good, solid play, and it’ll almost always bring the desired result. GoOilers
EdmontonOilers My dislike for the Oilers seems to increase with their points. Let's hope they stop winning.
EdmontonOilers First nhl team ever to come from behind in first 5 nhl games to go 5 and 0
EdmontonOilers Congrats Oilers you were better than us 😞
