TAKEAWAYS

Rangers: Mika Zibanejad posted the 36th short-handed point of his career, passing Mikael Backlund for the NHL’s fourth most by a Swedish player. Zibanejad sits third on the Rangers with 16 points this season.

Oilers: McDavid extended his points streak to 19 games (11 goals, 37 assists, 48 points) and became just the fourth player in NHL history with a 19-game season-opening point streak, joining Wayne Gretzky, Dany Heatley and Mats Sundin. Unfortunately, his record-setting season-starting assist streak ended at 18 games.

KEY MOMENT

Up by one and killing a penalty while the Rangers also had their goalie pulled, Draisaitl was able to make a long shot into the empty net to record his league-leading 18th goal of the season, extending his goal-scoring streak to four games and his points streak to six.

KEY STAT

Scoring first has been key for both of these teams this season. Edmonton is now 11-0-2 when getting the game’s first goal. The Rangers came into the game with a 10-1-0 record when scoring first, but are the only team in the league without a win when allowing the first goal, dropping to 0-7-1 when the other team strikes first.

UP NEXT

Rangers: Visit the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.

Oilers: Host the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.
