Red-hot Michael Grabner scores twice, Rangers beat Oilers 3-1
EDMONTON — Michael Grabner is earning his contract with the New York Rangers.
Grabner scored a pair of goals to put him at 10 on the season as the Rangers won their second game in as many nights, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 on Sunday.
“I’m just trying to go out there and play my role,” said Grabner, who only had nine goals in 80 games for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season before signing with the Rangers in the summer as a free agent.
“It’s just been going good from the start, from the first game on. I think that’s a big part of hockey, when you get confidence, it seems to be going out there and not thinking and good things happen.”
