Although it may not have been in their best interest to do so, the Rangers capped off their regular season with a nice win over Detroit. The first period featured a standout performance and a goal by veteran defenseman Dan Boyle, although the Red Wings applied the pressure in the second and scored a power play goal to tie things up. Raanta made some key saves in the third to keep the Rangers in it, and Kevin Hayes’ goal put them up, followed by Lindberg’s empty netter to seal the deal.

The play starts in the Rangers’ end, where some nice puck pressure by Dan Boyle and Chris Kreider forces a turnover heading towards the neutral zone, which Boyle picks up with speed.
