Related Topics: Season, Fuel, Colorado, Ryan Spooner

Notes and analysis
  • The Rangers dictated the flow of the game, in the third period, the team had 67 percent of the shots
  • For the first time in forever, New York is consistently winning a majority of the face offs games, against Colorado they won 67 percent
  • After being heavily sheltered the first several games of the season, Filip Chytil played the third most minutes on the entire team with 16:57
  • While the team did play well, the fourth line of Ryan Spooner, Vinni Lettieri and Cody McLeod all played a shade over five minutes each
  • The line of Zuccarello, Hayes and Chytil was dominant in terms of possession, when this group was on the ice, New York had around 58 percent of the shots in the game
  • The team was adamant about keeping Chytil at center, but after such strong results on the wing, it’d be crazy to put him back down the middle
  • The Rangers are creating scoring chances, eventually they will go in.
