"The Rangers entered the third period of their road tilt at the Bell Centre against the Montreal Canadiens down a goal. Despite a rough start, they'd kept pace with the Canadiens and controlled play in the second period. More encouraging was that their lone tally had come from Mika Zibanejad on the power play. J.T. Miller tipped in an Adam Fox point shot just as an early power play expired."
"A few minutes later, Matthew Robertson put the Rangers ahead with his first NHL goal a one-timer from the point. Then, Artemi Panarin wired a shot off the post and in to put New York up by two. It's massive, said Alexis Lafreniere. Especially recently, we played well, we felt like but couldn't get the wins, and it's big to get a big comeback win today."
"The Rangers are a resilient group It would've been easy for the Rangers to get discouraged early. They entered Saturday coming off a frustrating 2-1 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday, in which they outshot Toronto 29-24 and finished with more than half of the game's expected goal share in a 2-1 overtime loss. It would've been even easier for them to get discouraged after Montreal scored twice in the first four minutes of Saturday's game to take an early 2-0 lead."
The New York Rangers recovered from an early 2-0 deficit to mount a third-period comeback. The team controlled play in the second period despite a rough start. Mika Zibanejad provided a power-play goal. J.T. Miller tipped in an Adam Fox point shot as an early power play expired. Matthew Robertson scored his first NHL goal on a one-timer from the point. Artemi Panarin added a goal by redirecting a shot off the post and in. The win ended recent frustration after close losses. Montreal opened with two early goals and held nearly 67% of the shot attempts.
