NEW YORK — In their first game back from a four-game West Coast trip, the Rangers finally seemed to get the breaks they’ve been seeking for weeks.
After finding themselves on the wrong end of three separate video reviews over the first two periods Saturday, the Rangers kept playing, kept going to the net, got a couple of breaks and built themselves a three-goal lead against the struggling Edmonton Oilers, losers of seven of their last 10 games.
But a pair of goals by defenseman Evan Bouchard and another by forward Dylan Holloway in the third period stunned the Rangers and Leon Draisaitl’s power-play goal with 2:02 left in regulation time sent them to a 4-3 loss in Saturday’s matinee at Madison Square Garden. To make matters worse for the Rangers, they lost defenseman Ryan Lindgren in the third period after he was crunched by Edmonton’s Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
