## Key points

- Rangers went 0-for-5 on the power play in a 3-1 defeat.
- McDavid extended his scoring streak to 19 games.
- Chmelar scored his first career shorthanded goal.

## Summary

The New York Rangers lost 3-1 to the Edmonton Oilers, with their ineffective power play a major reason they could not turn a competitive game into a closer result. They kept the contest relatively low-scoring despite facing a team led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, but failed to score on five power plays.

The Rangers entered the game with a 20.8 per cent power-play success rate, ranking 19th in the NHL, and recent changes to their units and the use of Adam Fox in multiple shifts had not improved matters. McDavid scored to extend his point streak to 19 games, Draisaitl scored twice, and Rangers rookie Jaroslav Chmelar kept his team in the game with a shorthanded goal after a successful penalty kill against a 5-on-3.
