"The Rangers desperately needed to show something in Edmonton. Some life, some guts, some never say die attitude. And they delivered. JT Miller's overtime winner capped a 4-3 Rangers win after trailing 3-1 heading into the third period. This was a gutsy, gutsy win after what looked like was going to be another frustrating loss despite playing pretty well."
"I owe Will Cuylle an apology. Whem the season started I felt he was miscast as a top six winger. Not that he couldn't play that role later in the season, but it felt premature in the moment. Boy has he turned a corner during this road trip. He's had 3 assists in his last three games, and perhaps the illness he's been battling-they mentioned on the broadcast that he was battling a sickness the last week or so-played a large role in his slow start."
"JT Miller has looked a little more like himself since the game in Vancouver. Obviously we are in the dark as to how badly his preseason injury was, but perhaps all he needed was a little revenge game in Vancouver. Or perhaps we are finally just seeing the puck go in the net after some strong overall play. He's definitely the emotional leader"
The Rangers rallied from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Oilers 4-3 in overtime, with JT Miller scoring the winner after a third-period comeback. The Oilers appeared poised to pull away following a fluke Darnell Nurse goal, but New York dug in and capitalized on high-danger opportunities late. Will Cuylle has improved during the road trip, recording three assists in three games while overcoming an illness that impacted his early season play, potentially projecting as an elite third liner or developing into a top-six winger. JT Miller looks closer to full form and serves as the team's emotional leader.
