New York Rangers vs Edmonton Oilers: Insanity reigns in a 7-5 loss

The New York Rangers salvaged some respect in a game that they trailed 6-0. After the Oilers scored six goals in the first 35 minutes, the Rangers came back and almost pulled for a miracle. They scored one goal as the second period ended and added four more in the third, but an empty net goal sealed their fate.

Alexandar Georgiev had probably his worst game in the NHL giving up six goals on 24 shots. Henrik Lundqvist came in to relieve him with just over four minutes left in the game and held the Oilers scoreless, making six saves and the ice was tilted in the Rangers favor.
