BOSTON -- Mika Zibanejad had two goals and Pavel Buchnevich had three assists, as the weary New York Rangers, short-handed after a rollercoaster week on and off the ice, outlasted the Boston Bruins, 5-4, in the season finale for the road team Saturday.
K'Andre Miller, Alexis Lafreniere and Vitali Kravtsov also scored for the Rangers, who were minus leading scorer Artemi Panarin, defenseman Jacob Trouba and forward Chris Kreider, among other regulars.
In a week that began with a humiliating 6-3 loss to the Washington Capitals at Madison Square Garden Monday, included two more losses to the Capitals and Bruins in which they were outscored 8-2, and also featured the surprising dismissals of their president and general manager, the Rangers closed with one of their most complete third-period performances of the season.
