The Rangers got their revenge game with the Blue Jackets as they wrapped up their season series, picking up their 40th win of the year in the process. There’s no question the loss in Columbus over the weekend left a sour taste in the Rangers mouths as they came out flying and showed up for quite the battle. Their efforts certainly paid off as the win put them back on top of the standings as they become the first team in the league to hit the 40 win mark this season.
1st Period:
The Rangers kicked things off with a strong shift from the Trocheck line as Panarin found a nice pass over to Lafrenière for a chance with the one-timer.
