Following the disappointment in Toronto letting a point slip away, the NY Rangers, on the eve of a 9 day break, had a great bounce back win over the struggling Vegas Golden Knights. What started out as a sloppy first period with multiple odd man rushes and Jaro Halak standing tall, the Rangers found ways to put a few goals on the board from some great scoring plays and secure the 4-1 win.
Chris Kreider, playing in his 700th game, got a lucky bounce off a nice pass from Vincent Trocheck to open the scoring, and that same line contributed again with Trocheck finding a soft area in the slot and firing it past Aidan Hill later in the first period.
