A textbook performance by the New York Rangers against a bottom feeding team led to a 4-0 victory on a night where both teams ahead of them in the standings lost.
Although it’s unlikely the Blueshirts (106 points, 2 games remaining) can overtake the New Jersey Devils (108 points, 2 games remaining) for second place in the Metro, and even less likely they can grab first from the Carolina Hurricanes (109 points, 3 games remaining), it was a solid showing.
The Rangers only turned over the puck three times the entire match and helped Igor Shesterkin to a shutout and a career-high 37 wins on the season.
