The NY Rangers had a chance to turn their trip to Montreal into a disaster. A bad team playing poorly is usually a recipe for a trap game, especially for the Rangers. After the first period, it looked like the Rangers might just go that route. But three goals in the second and some Jaro Halak heroics in the third preserved a win. It’s too bad the Rangers couldn’t last another 5 minutes and get Halak the shutout.
It didn’t look it, especially with Halak making some pretty good saves, but the Rangers controlled most of the play.
