J.T. Miller’s overtime goal delivers Rangers thrilling comeback win over Oilers
NY Post
EDMONTON — The Rangers’ captain may have been the overtime hero Thursday night, but the team never would’ve gotten there without the supporting cast.
J.T Miller’s goal 2:49 into the extra period secured the Blueshirts a 4-3 win over the Oilers, marking the club’s second win in a row and the second of the four-game road trip that will conclude Saturday night in Seattle.
The Rangers marquee players have largely left much to be desired to start the season, especially offensively.
That’s forced the team to find production elsewhere. This time, it was Braden Schneider and Taylor Raddysh who each scored in the final 20 minutes to knot the game at three-all and ultimately force overtime.
“The third period was great,” Miller said after the game. “I didn’t have my best today. Obviously, changed the lines up a little bit, trying to spark something. We just had so many guys contribute. [Noah Laba] was unbelievable today. You see Rads chip in again, Schneids. We need that throughout the course of the season, you know what I mean? You have that depth scoring, and they played a heck of a game and drove play for us today and made it easy for the next line going out there.
“That was a true team effort. When they had their looks, [Igor Shesterkin] played awesome today. That’s just a big team win, something that we can really build on going forward.”

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
