The Rangers were dominated by the Coyotes early on, allowing 15 shots in the first to their four, yet managed to escape that period with just a one goal deficit thanks entirely to Alex Georgiev, who made 14 saves in the period. The Rangers managed to get the game tied twice in the second period, and at the very least clamped down a little bit defensively, but then questionable coaching decisions led to a scoreless third and not even touching the puck in overtime.
The Blueshirts barely tested Darcy Kuemper throughout most of this contest, which is the norm.
