One team answered the bell on Tuesday night at San Jose.
”We were on our toes,” said Chris Kreider, after the Rangers upset the Sharks in the shootout. “We weren’t sitting back.”
The same couldn’t be said about the home team’s defensive detail, especially on Kreider’s first goal, which gave New York a 2-1 lead early in the third.
From the right point, Kevin Hayes (13) spots Brady Skjei (76) streaking down the left lane. As a winger, the point is generally Timo Meier’s (28) defensive responsibility, but when the pass connects, he’s far from Skjei.
