After sweeping through the Tampa Bay Lightning in their previous two games, the Rangers made it three wins in a row tonight with a 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers. New York got some much needed reinforcements back with Ryan Lindgren and Kevin Rooney returning from protocol for tonight’s contest. The Rangers elected to give Igor Shesterkin the night off on the second game of a back-to-back, and Alexandar Georgiev filled in wonderfully with 33 saves.
