BOSTON – On Wednesday, the Rangers took a three-goal lead and held on for the victory. On Friday afternoon, the two-goal lead they held midway through the second period proved not big enough to hold.
David Krejci swept in a pass from David Pastrnak in overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 3-2 victory over the Rangers in a nationally televised matinee in TD Garden. The Bruins, who hold the NHL’s best record, trailed, 2-0, and rallied with one goal late in the second, one in the third, and the winner in the 3-on-3 overtime. The Rangers play again Saturday in New Jersey against the Devils.
