The Rangers opened their season with an exhilarating 6-4 victory over the Jets, and man was it a game.
It was your prototypical 1980s hockey game with a lot of scoring, porous defense, and a lot of flying rubber. The Jets out shot the Blueshirts 47-34, but in the end it was the six goals (five of which went past goaltender Connor Hellebuyck) that really matter.
If you had Marc Staal in the first Ranger goal of the season pool, please make sure you see the cashier to cash in your ticket now, lest you be tempted to double down on that bet.
