"It was kind of a greasy game, captain J.T. Miller said. It wasn't really super exciting, I don't think. But finding a way to win on the road against teams in your conference is huge, so we're happy to keep going."
"A sign of a good team is when they have a comfort level playing in a one-goal game, and a low-scoring game, said Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan. And I believe we're developing that comfort level playing in a close, one-goal low-scoring game When you can play in your end zone and defend and you don't have to hit the panic button, you have a certain level of confidence that everybody's going to do their job."
New York beat Columbus 2-1 in a shootout, with J.T. Miller scoring the decisive shootout goal. The Rangers improved to 9-1-1 on the road and picked up their 10th point in 11 road games to begin the season.

Mika Zibanejad opened the scoring in the second period by cleaning up his own rebound after Adam Fox held the puck in the zone on multiple clearing attempts. Coach Mike Sullivan noted the team's growing comfort in close, low-scoring games.
