Draisaitl stars in overtime as Oilers down Rangers. MORE:
scored 35 seconds into overtime and had a pair of assists as the Oilers beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Monday. The win, coupled with losses by Minnesota, Arizona and Colorado, moved Edmonton five points back of a wild-card playoff spot.
"They scored the tying goal, but we stuck with it and created momentum shift after shift," said Edmonton forward."We ended up having the dynamic duo connecting in overtime. That's a huge two points for us.""Five points back with a game in hand. That's more than doable if we continue at this pace," said Oilers head coach Ken Hitchcock."There are a lot of points that we've been missing out on," Lemieux said.
Two minutes later, the Oilers had a goal by Benning called back on accidental contact with the goalie by Kassian, however a review proved that it was actually the stick of defender Frederik Claesson that clipped Georgiev and it was ruled a good goal.
