Rangers, with Latvian defenceman Smits, lose fourth straight NHL game

The New York Rangers lost 1:4 at home to the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL. It was the 15th NHL game for Latvian defenceman Alberts Smits, and the team failed to end its losing streak.

In the National Hockey League (NHL), North America's top professional ice hockey league, the New York Rangers suffered their fourth consecutive defeat on Sunday. Playing at home, the Rangers lost 1:4 to the Edmonton Oilers.

Latvian defenceman Alberts Smits played for the New York side. According to the news site LSM, it was his 15th game in the NHL. Smits and his teammates were unable to stop the run of losses.

Losing streak continues

The defeat by the Oilers was the Rangers' fourth in a row in NHL games. The New York team's poor run therefore goes on, and it still needs a win to break it.

The visitors from Edmonton won the game in New York by a score of 4:1.
