As disjointed as their power play has been all season long, however, the lack of production had never so glaringly cost the Rangers like it did Monday night.
The New York Rangers fell 3-1 to the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, largely undone by an ineffective power play that went 0-for-5. Connor McDavid opened the scoring for Edmonton after capitalizing on an error by rookie goaltender Dylan Garand, extending his season-opening point streak to 19 games. Leon Draisaitl added two goals for Edmonton, including a late empty-netter that sealed the victory.
Jaroslav Chmelar scored a shorthanded goal for the Rangers off an assist from Mika Zibanejad against Oilers goalie Devon Levi. However, New York's man-advantage struggles proved decisive, failing to register a shot on one late advantage and surrendering an empty-net tally on another despite coaching adjustments to the power-play units.
