Prior to Saturday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, New York Rangers’ forward and noted die-hard New England Patriots fan Kevin Hayes wore a Tom Brady jersey into the game. The Rangers have played the previous two years on super bowl Sunday, but this year the team opted for a light morning practice instead.
As usual, the football was broken out and the team closed things out with a light football game on ice. The Rangers have made this commonplace over the years and a way to keep things light during the 82 game grind of the NHL season.
