The Tampa Bay Lightning headed into Madison Square Garden to face the New York Rangers tired and shorthanded but still managed to pull off a 3-2 victory largely thanks to Louis Domingue in net. Following a 1-0 shootout win over Isles the previous night, the Lightning faced the Rangers without one of their best players in Brayden Point who the team announced is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
On defense, Mikhail Sergachev got his night of rest, which removed another one of the more dynamic players from the lineup.
