NEW YORK (AP) — Viktor Arvidsson scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period and the Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Rangers 3-1 on Sunday night.
Corey Perry and Connor McDavid also scored for Edmonton, which won its second-straight to complete a four-game road trip. The Oilers were coming off a 2-1 overtime win over the Islanders on Friday. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had three assists and Stuart Skinner finished with 21 saves.
Will Cuylle scored for the Rangers, and Igor Shesterkin had 20 saves. New York snapped a two-game win streak.
Arvidsson beat Shesterkin with high shot at 6:09 of the third for his ninth goal of the season to put Edmonton up 2-1.
McDavid made it a two-goal lead with his 25th with 3:25 remaining.
Perry scored a power-play goal off a goalmouth scramble with 43 seconds left in the first period to give Edmonton a 1-0 lead. It was the 39-year-old’s 15th of the season and 444th of his career.
Cuylle tied it with his 18th at the five-minute mark of the second.
