Despite playing the second half of a back-to-back, the Rangers came out with more energy. They struck first with a wrap-around goal from Arthur Kaliyev. Jordan Harris did a decent job catching up and marking Kaliyev as he came down the left side with speed, but Harris was unable to finish his check. He just bounced off, and Kaliyev was able to continue skating with speed behind the net. Elvis Merzlikins had committed to defending the right post during the rush, and couldn’t get back over left in time to stop the wrap-around shot.
ARTY ON THE WRAPAROUND.
