Hutchinson steals one for Winnipeg, Rangers drop first of the season

The Winnipeg Jets served the New York Rangers their first loss of the season, beating the Rangers by a score of 4-1. The Rangers had a very strong game, perhaps their best at even strength, but it was special teams and Michael Hutchinson that did them in. The Rangers failed to score on five powerplays and allowed a shorthanded goal against. They also allowed two powerplay goals.

Hutchinson was straight up fantastic, stopping 40 shots, including 20 in the second period alone. It makes you wonder why he isn’t the starter in Winnipeg, he’s clearly better than Ondrej Pavelec.
