The New York Rangers had to win last night in their first game back from a nine day break and they did. Mission half accomplished. They travel to Detroit to take on the Red Wings in another game that has to be considered a must win.
The win last night was more one-sided than the score would indicate. The Blueshirts dominated possession, shot attempts and shots on goal and there was only a glimmer of doubt after the Red Wings scored two goals late in the third period.
While last night ‘s result was predictable, tonight will be a greater challenge.
