Despite their struggles, they scored a 5-3 victory, only two points behind the second wildcard.

Game review

The two teams traded opportunities very early. Sidney Crosby almost beat Igor Shesterkin to score a chance, but the game is wide. The Penguins controlled the first ten minutes of the game, and Evgeni Malkin paid off when Shesterkin shot past Shesterkin, giving the Penguins a 1-0 lead. Shortly after the goal, Matt Rempe was sent to the fine box to intervene, a decision that was clearly strongly disagreeing with. Rangers killed the fine, got a chance, but Reilly Smith couldn’t finish it. A minute after the Rangers killed the fine, Rempe made a rough penalty, giving the Rangers their first strong chance of playing. The first powerful unit couldn’t find a way to score, but K’andre Miller broke through the neutral zone and found Will Cuylle, who shot Joel Blomqvist at the end of Joel Blomqvist.

During this time, the penguin fired at all cylinders. After tying the Wanderers to their own area, Anthony Beauvillier hooked up the Urho vaakanainen, which gave Pittsburgh a second game. This time, they had a lot of opportunities for high trash, but the Wanderers shut out the hockey and successfully killed the fine. Ten minutes during this period, the Penguins shot 14-0. With only eight minutes left, Kuyle was sent to a fine box to interfere with Rickard Rakell. Rangers killed the fine again, a perfect three-thirds when it comes to fine killing. Rangers recorded the first innings of the second stage at 4:49.

After the third phase began, the Rangers immediately decided that defense was optional, allowing Ryan Shea to shoot from the angle that defeated Shesterkin, who had never seen before because of his own The defensive player is screening him. Soon after, Shea won his second game on a weak floating point, hitting K’andre Miller, who was inexplicably standing online. The team won 32-10, gave up the lead and scored twice in two and a half seconds. Jimmy Vesey was recorded for most of the season fifty seconds later, and despite showing more heart and hustle and bustle than most teams, he scored more than this game . Chris Kreider will certainly stay in the roster when he is healthy again. I won’t hold my breath.

Eight and a half seconds later, Adam Fox found himself alone in the slot and shot Blomqvist on his wrist, putting the Rangers ahead. While the penguin controls the clock, the penguin controls the game and pulls Blomqvist for the additional attackers. The Penguins have a scoring chance after Will Cuylle’s three-quarter shooting attempt hit, but Will Borgen saves it to keep the Rangers ahead . After the Penguin had some great chances, JT Miller had six seconds left to score two points for the Rangers.

Ranger Collection

1. Victory is victory. It’s not very beautiful for the Rangers, their lead, their wins and their wins – but they won the game. They are now only two points in the playoff position. Rangers need to be better, no doubt. They need to find a way to win. Today, they found a way, but as the season continues to end, their playing style will not be cut.
2. Defence is terrible. Instead of putting pressure on the puck on the blue line, they keep throwing time on the opposition. This is not a winning strategy in the NHL. Unlike Buffalo, Shesterkin stood on his head in this match, eventually bringing the Rangers to a victory. No player on the defense is particularly bad because they are all bad. The grace of saving is that four of the past six defenders prove that they can perform well, but if the rangers are to build on this victory, they need to find their own game. Will Borgen released the defense tonight, allowing his body to exclude the puck later in the game. Rangers need to show more stuff while less surrender zone time and shooting.
3. The goalkeepers are Rangers’ season may boil down to, and frankly, it’s unfair to Shesterkin or Jonathan Quick, who are often hang out by team defensive battles. But when you sign a $11.5 million deal, putting the team on your back becomes your job. Shesterkin did this tonight and he will need to do it multiple times as the extension is.
4. The Rangers will have two days to rest before heading to Long Island to engage with the islanders on Tuesday night. As with every game throughout the rest of the season, it is a must-win. The lineup should change from tonight’s situation, and it’s time for Brennan Othmann to get a real chance before the trade deadline, otherwise he should trade. It’s been four years since he was selected and he has only played four NHL games. Put him in the roster Tuesday. He was very hot in Hartford lately and the Wanderers needed sparks.
