NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2025 — Two games stood out across the NHL schedule Thursday night, with the New York Rangers securing a steady 4–2 road win over the Ottawa Senators and the Edmonton Oilers overpowering the Seattle Kraken 9–4 behind a dominant offensive performance.
The Rangers earned their victory at Canadian Tire Centre by maintaining control throughout the night. Artemi Panarin recorded both a goal and an assist, and statistical summaries from the night confirm he reached 900 career NHL points during the game. New York kept steady pressure on Ottawa and held the Senators at arm’s length through the third period, adding another road win to one of the league’s stronger away records this season.
In Seattle, the Oilers produced the most explosive performance of the night. Edmonton defeated the Kraken 9–4, driven by a hat trick from captain Connor McDavid. Official scoring summaries list McDavid with three goals, with Edmonton steadily pulling away as the game progressed. Seattle generated offense in bursts but was unable to slow Edmonton’s transition or extended pressure late.
Both games delivered two points in the standings—one through structure and steady execution, and the other through overwhelming offense.
