It certainly wasn’t pretty by any means, but unlike last game, the New York Rangers finally completed the third period comeback after trailing by two goals. While the ending was encouraging, despite playing a fourth string goalie, the start is what left some pause. Henrik Lundqvist absolutely stood on his head tonight and even though he allowed four goals, the Rangers don’t win this game without him.
The opening minutes of this game weren’t all that bad, however, with Jimmy Vesey opening up the scoring for the Rangers. David Desharnais created the goal with excellent work behind the net and put the puck right on Vesey’s tape in the high slot.
