The bar was on the floor for the Rangers to play better, and they at least cleared that. The Rangers tightened up defensively, and while they weren’t given much offensively, still managed to eke out that win. Alex Georgiev was solid in this one, righting the ship after a rough stretch for the young goalie as he shut down the Isles. This was a big win for the Rangers in their quest to stay in the playoff hunt.
The kid line came through tonight, with a big first goal to get things rolling. K’Andre Miller added the big insurance tally, and Georgiev was steady throughout.
