"In the end, it was the Detroit Red Wings' 41st shot of the game that made the difference. Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond circled the New York Rangers' net with less than four minutes to play. He waited for Rangers goaltender Jonathan Quick to drop out of position, then fired the puck into the open net. It was a killer for the Rangers, considering that Quick turned aside 40 shots in Sunday night's 2-1 loss New York's seventh regulation defeat at home."
"But as assistant coach David Quinn, filling in for head coach Mike Sullivan, out for a personal matter, told reporters afterward, the Rangers played inconsistently. I thought there were stretches we were good and doing the things we needed to do to put ourselves in a position to win a hockey game, Quinn said. And then I thought at times, we forced things to the middle of the rink, costly turnovers, and all of a sudden you're scrambling in your own end."
Lucas Raymond scored on the Detroit Red Wings' 41st shot late in the third period to produce a 2-1 win over the New York Rangers. Jonathan Quick made 40 saves and kept the Rangers in the game with several key stops, including a third-period split save on Raymond and a one-timer denial after a defender fell. Detroit's Mason Appleton fired an empty-net puck after the horn, provoking a bench-clearing brawl. Assistant coach David Quinn, filling in for Mike Sullivan, cited inconsistent play and costly turnovers that left the Rangers scrambling in their own end. Detroit generated 25 shot attempts across five Rangers minor penalties.
