Plenty for Rangers to feel good about despite 3-1 road loss to Oilers: key takeaways

The New York Rangers suffered a 3-1 road defeat against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at Rogers Place. Connor McDavid opened the scoring after intercepting an errant pass from Rangers goaltender Dylan Garand, and Leon Draisaitl scored twice, including an empty-net goal, to seal the victory for Edmonton. Jaroslav Chmelar scored New York's only goal of the game.

Forever Blueshirts highlights several encouraging takeaways for New York despite the loss. The Rangers outshot the Oilers 29-20, held Edmonton to two high-danger scoring chances at five-on-five, and successfully killed off all three Oilers power plays. However, New York struggled on its own man advantage, finishing 0-for-5 against Oilers goaltender Devon Levi.
