Rangers’ Three-Game Winning Streak Ends Against Oilers

The Rangers’ three-game winning streak ended with a loss to the Edmonton Oilers on November 9, 2026. New York had been playing better after a difficult stretch, but an early mistake put it behind: Dylan Garand sent the puck to Connor McDavid in front of an open net, and McDavid scored in the first period.

New York had a chance to equalize on a power play at the start of the second, but did not score. Edmonton added to its lead soon afterward when Leon Draisaitl scored his 17th goal of the season, assisted by Vasily Podkolzin and Mattias Ekholm. The Rangers challenged the goal over contact with Garand in the crease, but it was allowed to stand.

The Rangers then killed a five-on-three advantage after Braden Schneider was penalized for shooting the puck out of play. As Jaroslav Chmelar left the penalty box, Mika Zibanejad passed to him, and Chmelar scored New York’s second shorthanded goal of the season to keep the team within reach.

New York played strongly in the third period, but its power play remained a weakness: the Rangers went scoreless on all five opportunities. With Garand pulled for an extra attacker, Draisaitl scored again, this time shorthanded, sealing the result. The Rangers next face the Calgary Flames on November 11, the second-to-last game of their road trip.
