Hockey is horrible sometimes. The New York Rangers dominated last night’s game against the St. Louis Blues, but not only did Jordan Binnington stand on his head, but it was a fluke, weak goal that sent the Rangers home with the regulation loss. The loss is absolutely crushing, as it represented 20% of their regulation loss buffer for the rest of the season.
Alex Georgiev was solid as well, but it was the second Blues goal, the one he wants back, that wound up being the difference maker in this one. Binnington also made several big stops in the third as the Rangers pressed with the extra skater to tie it up.
