a 1-0 home loss to Washington<\/a> in which Sullivan believed they deserved a better result, the Rangers again came up with scoring opportunities versus Edmonton.<\/p>\nThe Rangers outshot the Oilers 30-22 and didn\u2019t commit a penalty on the night.<\/p>\n

But they also failed to capitalize on three power plays and, despite having outscored their opponents 10-1 in a pair of road games, are still winless at the Garden.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot to like about our game,\u2019\u2019 Miller said. \u201cIt\u2019s a unique situation, but let\u2019s not blow this out of proportion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, there is a level of frustration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know whether to laugh or cry,\u2019\u2019 Zibanejad said of the team\u2019s inability to break through at home. \u201cI honestly don\u2019t know. We\u2019ve got to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tuesday night featured several chances for the Rangers to snap that streak, but they were all either squandered, hit the post or stopped by Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner.<\/p>\n
Trent Frederic finally broke the 0-0 tie at 10:22 in the second period, as he beat Igor Shesterkin on a breakaway.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And while the Rangers stymied McDavid and Co. and have allowed just seven goals in five games \u2014 with three empty-netters \u2014 they\u2019ve lost three.<\/p>\n
Shesterkin wasn\u2019t tested much in the first, but he was up to the task when Evan Bouchard fired one toward the corner of the net at 14:03. <\/p>\n
The goalie, who entered with a 0.67 goals against average, snared it to keep the game 0-0.<\/p>\n

The Rangers nearly took the lead early in the second period, but Braden Schneider\u2019s shot hit the post.<\/p>\n
And after Frederic put the Oilers up, the Rangers were unable to take advantage of a pair of Edmonton penalties later in the period.<\/p>\n
Another near-miss came not long after the penalties were killed, as Sam Carrick hit the post, as well, keeping the Rangers down by a goal.<\/p>\n

It stayed that way until Adam Henrique scored an empty-netter at 18:52 in the third to seal the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t always control whether the puck goes in the net,\u2019\u2019 Sullivan said. \u201cBut what you can control is the process of generating looks. If they weren\u2019t, this would be a different narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n
Instead, the Rangers sound encouraged despite the lack of success \u2014 and goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we play like we did [Tuesday] and with Washington, we\u2019re gonna be a tough team to play against, especially once the goals start to come,\u2019\u2019 Carrick said. \u201cWe\u2019re dying to give fans a reason to cheer.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rangers went into Tuesday night looking to contain Edmonton\u2019s star, Connor McDavid.
