The Edmonton Oilers' longest win streak in over four years has come to an end on Broadway.

Rick Nash scored his 10th goal of the season and Henrik Lundqvist made 18 saves to lead the New York Rangers to a 4-2 victory over the Oilers on Tuesday.

Nash buried a power-play goal late in the second period, which proved to be the eventual game-winner. Mats Zuccarello scored for the 14th time this season, Dylan McIlrath notched his first career NHL goal, and Jesper Fast added an empty-netter in the Rangers' victory.

Taylor Hall continued his impressive play for the Oilers, burying his team-leading 15th goal of the season, while Jordan Eberle stayed hot with a pretty breakaway goal. Eberle now has five goals in his last six games.

Anders Nilsson gave up three goals on 20 shots in the loss for the Oilers, who fall to 14-16-2 on the season.

Edmonton will look to start a new winning streak against the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday, while New York will look to improve on its 19-9-4 record when they visit the Minnesota Wild.
