"Kreider, the lifelong New York Ranger who played in parts of 13 seasons for the Blueshirts until the summer trade that sent him to the Anaheim Ducks, received a lengthy standing ovation from the Madison Square Garden faithful several in Kreider jerseys as he skated around, his hand on his chest. It's self-explanatory, Kreider said. It's hard to put into words what that experience was like I don't know, kind of leaves you speechless, I guess."
"The Ducks left the Garden on Monday night with a 4-1 win, though the game was fairly even. Both teams got looks, and at five-on-five, New York had 58.5% of the shot attempts and led that metric in all three periods, according to Natural Stat Trick. The Rangers also led in high-danger chances at five-on-five (7-5) and had nearly 59% of the expected goal share, again leading that metric in all three periods, per Natural Stat Trick."
"The teams traded goals in the second period Ducks defenseman Jackson LaCombe opened the scoring on a rebound that came off a shorthanded breakaway, and Matthew Robertson later tied the game after his point shot bounced in the air and was knocked in by goalie Lukas Dostal. Cutter Gauthier scored twice in the third period, and Pavel Mintyukov added a late insurance marker."
