The Rangers kept their season alive with a decisive 5-2 win over the Devils in Game 6 Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
It may have looked like this first-round series against the Devils was over following a steady decline in the Rangers’ play, which culminated in a no-show performance in the previous game, but the Blueshirts kept their season alive with a decisive 5-2 win in Game 6 Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.That urgency that’s been missing unfolded on the ice at key moments of the game.Now, it comes down to Game 7 at The Rock on Monday night.
His game-tying goal at the end of the first period counted as the 16th of his career in potential elimination games, which tied Mark Messier for the NHL record in that category. Chris Kreider celebrates after scoring the game-tying late in the first period of the Rangers’ 5-2 Game 6 win over the Devils.After Kreider snapped the Rangers’ 0-for-14 streak on the power play to knot the game at one-all, Mika Zibanejad scored his first goal of the series just over 10 minutes into the middle frame to give his team a 2-1 lead, their first since the second period of Game 3.
Vladimir Tarasenko, who was promoted to the top line and the first power-play unit ahead of this elimination game, proved to be more than worthy of the extra ice time.It’s an adjustment that probably should’ve been made a couple games ago, but Tarasenko netted a dagger at the end of the second with a snipe from the high slot after assisting on Zibanejad’s 2-1 score earlier in the frame.
