There was a lot to like from the power play. Tonight, it didn't go in the net for them, said Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan. But I thought their mindset, the decisions they made, their execution, was in the right place."
"Sullivan agreed with that sentiment when prodded during his postgame media availability on Tuesday, adding that if I had the solution, we would certainly bring it. The Rangers have scored just one five-on-four power play goal since No. 1 defenseman Adam Fox went down with a shoulder injury at the end of November, and it came from the second unit J.T. Miller's overtime winner against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday came on a power play, but it was a four-on-three."
