Throughout the night, the Rangers just played without a sense of passion and intensity. For the second game in a row, their opponent "outworked" them, a term Peter Laviolette used to describe the team’s Thursday night loss to the Calgary Flames.

Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Rangers 6-2. Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard each had a goal and an assist, and Vasily Podkolzin and Darnell Nurse

For the second straight game, the Rangers were absolutely dominated in the first period in terms of puck possession and shots on goal. They were outshot 21-9 in the period after being outshot 20-5 in Calgary on Thursday. This time they trailed 2-0 after 20 minutes.
