Rangers return from break, lose 4th straight, 4-1 to Oilers

Five days of rest may have rejuvenated the New York Rangers, but it wasn’t enough to snap their latest skid. They recorded their fourth straight regulation loss Sunday night, falling 4-1 to the Edmonton Oilers at Madison Square Garden. Edmonton completed a weekend sweep of the League’s New York clubs, holding the Islanders scoreless Saturday afternoon in a 4-0 win. The Rangers allowed the game’s first goal for a fourth consecutive game, when Connor McDavid buried his ninth goal of the season less than a minute after puck drop.
