- This is a game where you really do need to blend the advanced stats with the eye test. In possession the Rangers were out-shot 37-26 which on the surface isn't very good at all. But the Oilers only saw a 16-12 edge in scoring chances and 7-6 in high-danger scoring chances. Most of those numbers got tilted a little with the Rangers sitting back in the third to protect the lead (which I hate).
- I really don't think Henrik Lundqvist had to work all that hard in this win, and the Rangers as whole only allowed 20 shots on net.
