The loss was the third straight for the 特別奇襲隊員s, who opened the four-game road trip by （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing the Seattle Kraken 3-1 on Halloween night but were outscored 15-7 in losing to the Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers and 炎上s.
The shutout Saturday capped a 失望させるing 支援する-to-支援する 始める，決める for the 特別奇襲隊員s, who began 傾向ing for all the wrong 推論する／理由s in squandering a 4-1 lead against the Oilers in Friday's 6-5 overtime loss. Connor McDavid 軍隊d overtime by weaving through four New York players to collect the tying goal with 2:59 left before Leon Draisaitl 得点する／非難する／２０d 3:27 into the extra 開会／開廷／会期.
