Robertson broke a scoreless tie in the third period and sealed the game with an empty-net goal, while goaltender Jake Oettinger made 22 saves to secure the victory. The Rangers' offense struggled significantly, failing to capitalize on five power-play opportunities and not generating any high-danger scoring chances.
