Nash’s late goal lifts Rangers to 5-3 win over Oilers
NEW YORK — Kevin Hayes, J.T. Miller and Michael Grabner have formed a very productive line this season and came through with another big night for the high-scoring New York Rangers.
Rick Nash scored the tiebreaking goal with 1:21 remaining to lead the Rangers to a 5-3 victory over the Western Conference-leading Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night. Hayes had a goal and two assists, and Grabner and Miller each had a goal and an assist.
“We just bring a different element to the line, every one (of us),” Grabner said. “I think it’s been going pretty good and hopefully we can keep it up.”
Jesper Fast also scored for New York, which rallied from three one-goal deficits and won for the sixth time in seven games. Nick Holden had two assists and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 21 shots.
