The Rangers came into last night’s game with a Rick Nash celebration, and then promptly fell behind 2-0 to the AHL Devils. But then the Blueshirts rattled off four straight, including Libor Hajek’s first professional goal. It was also a completely dominating affair for the Rangers, who controlled 67% of the shot attempts. I would hope that was the case, considering the Devils dressed their AHL team.
Hajek later suffered a separated shoulder on the shift following his goal, so that stinks. Ryan Strome had a pair of goals. Vlad Namestnikov had a goal and two assists, and Mika Zibanejad had a pair of assists to round out the night.
