Much like Sunday, when the Rangers earned a point against a team that is far better than them, the Blueshirts scored three goals in the second period to force the game into overtime. And although David Quinn’s squad would eventually lose in the extra period, the team put forth another strong effort against a superior opponent.
Mika Zibanejad – It’s been a breakout season for the Swedish center, who scored his 27th goal of the season in this one, tying his personal best. Zibanejad received a great pass from his new linemate Jimmy Vesey and beat Andrei Vasilevsky to get the Rangers on the board in the second period.
