The New York Rangers showed tremendous resilience in securing their first real signature victory of the season Thursday night at Rogers Arena. They erased a late two-goal deficit and rallied past the Edmonton Oilers on J.T. Miller’s overtime goal for a thrilling 4-3 road win.
It wasn’t their best-played game start to finish. But the good far outweighed the bad, and the effort and result helped the Rangers further distance themselves from last season’s failures.
“That’s just a big team win, something that we can really build on going forward,” Miller stated afterward.
