"With the loss, the Rangers arrived at the 41-game mark, the midpoint of their season, at 19-17-5. Their road record fell to 14-7-2. "I think it's been a mixed bag," Rangers coach Mike Sullivan said when asked his impressions of his team at the halfway point. "We're right in the thick of it. I think we're capable of being better. I think there's another level we've got to push ourselves to try to get there.""
"Blake tipped in a shot by Sebastian Aho for the winner, with 12.6 seconds left in the OT. The loss leaves the Rangers at 7-5 in games that have been decided in overtime or a shootout. "If you give them two minutes of 4-on-3, there's a pretty good chance that they're going to score," forward Mika Zibanejad said. "We're 12 seconds away from doing a really good job and taking it to shootout. Yeah, it was tough one.""

The Rangers led 2-1 entering the third before Jordan Martinook tied the game on a Jalen Chatfield shot that slithered past Shesterkin.
