With both the New York Rangers and the Columbus Blue Jackets playing the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday night, each team chose to start their backup goalies: Alexandar Georgiev for New York and Joonas Korpisalo for Columbus. As you may expect, both teams scored a bunch of goals. How they did it was quite different, however.
The Jackets controlled the game early, but the Rangers opened the scoring at 5:54 with a a Mika Zibanejad goal. The goal was set up by a beautiful play by Pavel Buchnevich, who held the puck just long to wait for a sliding Markus Nutivaara to get out of his way.
