Ryan Strome scored the overtime winner, as the Rangers bested the Toronto Maple Leafs for the second straight time, and their first win in March. The Blueshirts were once again dominated by the Leafs, surrendering a 65% shot advantage. However Alex Georgiev, the Bulgarian Brute, stood tall again. For whatever reason, he has the Leafs’ number. He made 44 saves in this one, which was less than he had to make in the prior win (54).
Pavel Buchnevich scored in the first minute of the third to break the scoreless tie. Zach Hyman answered eight minutes later.
