"I just think it's hockey, said Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan. It's such a game of momentum. Second period wasn't our best in a lot of ways. Give Philly credit, they played well in the second period, but what I love was the response we had in the third and the resilience to be able to dig in, find a way to get it within striking distance."
"The Rangers had just conceded three goals in less than four minutes, as their 1-0 lead had quickly turned into a 3-1 deficit. Nicolas Deslauriers, soon after, was called for boarding young Rangers forward Brennan Othmann who, when he tried to defend himself, was pummeled in a fight. Philadelphia would carry a two-goal lead into the third period. New York responded with goals from Vincent Trocheck and Mika Zibanejad who tied the game with a one-timer on a late power play"
