It wasn’t easy and it took another 30-plus save effort from Henrik Lundqvist but the Rangers got things done Sunday afternoon. Behind a late goal from Jimmy Vesey, New York won its second game in a row. With the win, the Rangers sit at 59 points and are well within reach of a wildcard. More importantly, New York beat a quality team with a stingy effort.
As he has been all season long, Lundqvist was sharp with a 37 save effort. The netminder made a few highlight real stops to secure the victory for New York. Both teams scored in the first period, with goals to bookend the period.
