Rangers: Before earning the late overtime win Shesterkin had his struggles against Edmonton. He came into the contest with a 1-3 record, an .886 save percentage and 3.00 goals-against average versus the Oilers. In 230 starts against the rest of the league, he had posted a .918 save percentage and 2.47 GAA.
Oilers: Forward Adam Henrique, who picked up an assist, received his silver stick for playing 1,000 regular season NHL games in a ceremony before the contest, having achieved the feat just over a week ago in a game in Ottawa, when he became the 409th player in NHL history to do so. Remarkably, he is the first player to have ever hit 1,000 game as a member of the Oilers.

Key moment
The Oilers got a bizarre one to take a 3-1 lead midway through the second frame as Nurse took a shot from a bad angle near the goal line that nobody initially thought went in until a review during a TV timeout determined that the puck was sitting on top of Shesterkin’s pads as he backed into the net.
Key stat
The Rangers are still the only team in the NHL without a single forward who had reached eight points this season, being led by defenceman Adam Fox with nine points. Artemi Panarin leads the forwards with seven points.
