The Story
The Edmonton Oilers earned a 3-1 win over the New York Rangers on Monday, with Devon Levi turning in a standout performance in net.
Levi, who made 28 saves, was praised by his teammates after helping the Oilers hold off New York.
Leon Draisaitl scored twice for Edmonton, while Connor McDavid also found the scoresheet.
Jaroslav Chmelar replied for the Rangers with a short-handed goal as New York’s three-game winning streak came to an end.
After the game, Levi described his role as a goaltender as the final line of defence and said he embraces the challenge of making big saves when they’re needed.
Draisaitl said Levi was “the main reason” Edmonton won, adding that he made important saves at the right time.
Connor Murphy echoed that sentiment, saying that having a goalie who can deliver wins gives the team confidence to play aggressively.
