The NY Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes put up a game of the year candidate. The first period was a little bit of a feeling out process for the Rangers giving up a fluky goal to Brent Burns, but then by games end showed they are able to hang with just about any top team in this league. The key to victory was of course K’Andre Miller’s game winner, but it’s not everyday the Rangers outshoot the Carolina Hurricanes.
That is usually Carolina’s bread and butter as an organization. At 5 on 5, the Rangers didn’t rely on Igor Shesterkin as they usually do, which is good, but unfortunately they gave up a few bad luck goals.
