"It would be really easy just to kind of feel sorry for ourselves for the past few games. And I think I've said this multiple times, [it would be bad] to start cheating the game, start sacrificing some defense to get some more offense and whatnot. But I feel like because we've been getting our looks just because we've been playing the way we've been playing, I think there's a belief in this group that we're right there . . . And seeing the result today was huge."
"Panarin entered Saturday with no goals and two assists through six games. He finally scored his first goal - a precise dart into the far corner from the right wing after Zibanejad skated the puck up the middle and dished it to him - at 5:51 of the period. Panarin's goal gave the Rangers a 4-2 lead, and it turned into the game-winning goal when former Islander Noah Dobson scored his first goal in a Montreal uniform to pull the Canadiens within 4-3 at 8:26."
The New York Rangers overcame an early 2-0 deficit to beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 at the Bell Centre. Mika Zibanejad scored on a power play, Artemi Panarin added three assists and his first goal of the season, J.T. Miller scored, and rookie defenseman Matthew Robertson netted his first NHL goal. Jonathan Quick made 20 saves. Noah Dobson scored for Montreal to cut the lead to 4-3. The victory ended a three-game losing streak for the Rangers and rewarded sustained chance generation and belief that goals would eventually come.
