The Rangers lost 2-0 to the Edmonton Oilers and became the first team in NHL history to score zero goals in their first three home games of a season. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals are the other teams to shut out the Blueshirts at their home.

After the game, Blueshirts captain J.T. Miller commented on the three-game goalless streak, stating that it should not be blown out of proportion as it was only the fifth game of the season.
