Rangers Rally to Overcome Oilers in Overtime Thriller

EDMONTON – The New York Rangers staged a remarkable comeback, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in overtime on October 30, 2025. J.T. Miller sealed the victory with a goal just 2:49 into the extra period, helping the Rangers erase a two-goal deficit. This win marks their fifth away victory, improving their road record to 5-1-1 this season.

The Rangers started the game sluggishly, trailing 3-1 after two periods. However, they capitalized on key mistakes by the Oilers and maintained their momentum in the final frame. Johnny Brodzinski and Braden Schneider each scored their first goals of the season, contributing to the team’s offensive resurgence. Taylor Raddysh also found the net, showcasing the depth scoring that has been critical for the Rangers this season.

Igor Shesterkin was instrumental in the win, making 33 saves and ensuring that the Rangers remained competitive despite their early struggles. Miller highlighted the importance of this victory for building team confidence. “We needed that to build some confidence and see some pucks go in,” he stated.

The Rangers have faced challenges at home, holding a 0-4-1 record at Madison Square Garden, having been outscored 15-6 in those games. In contrast, they have demonstrated offensive prowess on the road, outscoring opponents 22-14. Miller underscored the significance of depth scoring, noting how crucial it is to their success, especially given that they are currently the only team in the NHL without a forward achieving eight points this season.

Head coach Mike Sullivan praised the team’s character, emphasizing the leadership’s role in the comeback against a formidable opponent like the Oilers. “It’s fun to be a part of something like that when you can come back against a real good team,” he remarked.

The Rangers will conclude their four-game road trip against the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. With their resilience and strong away performance, the team looks poised to build on this momentum. Since the 2021-22 season, the Rangers have excelled on the road, leading the NHL in points with 217 and securing 99 wins during this stretch.

As the Rangers continue to refine their game, this victory serves as a reminder of their potential, especially when their depth players contribute alongside their star athletes.
