A huge comeback win at home against the Boston Bruins kept the New York Rangers within 4 points of a Wild Card spot as the playoff race tightens up. Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider found some more of their vintage short-handed magic, connecting for the game-winning goal with 8:06 left in the third.
The assist was Zibanejad’s second of the game, giving him his sixth point in the three games since the arrival of J.T. Miller. The 31-year-old center’s play has been heavily scrutinized this year, with trade rumors continuing to circle despite Zibanejad’s full no-movement clause.
