"A game in which Alexis Lafreniere scored probably the best goal of his career ended with an o vertime goal by Alex Wennberg, In five years, we may already have forgotten about Wennberg's goal, so this got bumped to the 10 spot. Still, this win put the Rangers two wins away from playing in the Stanley Cup Final, and after a game three OT win (that didn't make this list), winning another OT game made the Rangers start to feel inevitable. Sadly, they weren't."
"Some argue this was the best game of Henrik Lundqvist's career. The Rangers defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 to win the series after previously falling behind 3-1 in the series. The game was intense the whole way through, with the Penguins consistently pushing for the game-tying goal. The final buzzer felt more like a relief than a victory, but either way, the Rangers were onto the Eastern Conference Finals thanks to an incredible performance by Lundqvist."
"Honestly, I couldn't decide where to place this one. The pure emotions of Martin St. Louis scoring on Mother's Day after his Mother passed away won out for me. This may not have been more exciting than Game 7, but the Rangers winning on home ice for St. Louis and bringing a series that felt over to a Game 7 was awesome."
Ten memorable New York Rangers playoff victories since 2010 feature overtime thrillers, emotional home-ice moments, and standout individual performances.
