MONTREAL — There was a good reason David Quinn didn’t make a goalie change, and it had less to do about the game and more to do with the environment.
Quinn found his Rangers down to the Canadiens, 4-0, just 22:51 into the game on Saturday night. Goalie Alexandar Georgiev didn’t look great in allowing those four goals on 20 shots.
But Quinn knew the 21,302 at the Bell Center would go berserk if he brought Henrik Lundqvist off the bench, so he didn’t make a move. And it paid off, as his team came back and won, 6-5, completing one of the most dramatic games in recent memory.
