Edmonton beat New York 4-1, with the game swinging in the first period as the Oilers built a two-goal lead and never let the Rangers fully back in. Edmonton added separation later and closed it out, while New York’s only scoring came in the middle frame.

Colton Dach scored twice for Edmonton, and Evan Bouchard had two assists and three points. Pavel Dorofeyev scored New York’s goal, with Scott Morrow adding an assist. The Rangers won 64 percent of faceoffs and had more shots, hits and takeaways, but Edmonton’s power play went 1-for-4 while New York’s went 0-for-2, and Edmonton blocked 15 shots.

With the closing line Rangers -1.5, Edmonton covered by 4.5. The closing total of 6.5 settled under by 1.5.
