The New York Rangers were able to rebound after a Sunday afternoon loss to the Boston Bruins, and defeated the Buffalo Sabres this evening 3-2 at Madison Square Garden. Pavel Buchnevich and Alexis Lafrenière got New York on the board early in the game, and they were able to close out the Sabres with a solid defensive effort in the third period. Igor Shesterkin got the start in goal this evening for the Blueshirts, and made several jaw-dropping saves to keep the Rangers ahead in the game.
