The New York Rangers find themselves in a pretty tough spot as they dropped Game 2, and fell behind 2-0 in the series. In a complete role reversal, the Rangers were nonexistent for a majority of this game, and just never generated enough sustained pressure in the offensive zone. Antti Raanta had a pretty easy night in the crease for Carolina, and turned aside all 22 shots he faced.
