The Rangers and Blackhawks entered tonight’s game in similar situations. Both were fighting for their playoff lives, and both were eight points out. The Rangers controlled the first period, while the Hawks controlled the second. But it was another strong finish for the Rangers, with two quick goals early in the third to take the lead, one they would not relinquish. Although they did try a few times. What a fast paced third that was.
First Period
- Stromes are brothers. Drink.
- I like how Panarin played the part for that ceremonious puck drop.
