"If you'd have asked New York Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan after his team's 5-4 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night, the answer would be: Prototypical J.T. Miller hockey. Miller's two-goal effort helped New York tie and win the game. One's at the blue paint, Sullivan explained, Where he plays his power game. Then, on the overtime winner, that one-timer is a missile. That's a goal scorer's goal, and that's what he's capable of."
"The Rangers fell behind early on Saturday, but statistically kept pace with the young, upstart Canadiens. New York led in shot attempts at five-on-five in all three periods, and finished with more than 55% of the game's share, according to Natural Stat Trick. They also dominated the Canadiens in five-on-five high-danger chances (12-3) and expected goal share (61.1%). The back half of the first period, which began with three straight Canadiens goals, was cause for concern."
J.T. Miller scored twice, including an overtime one-timer, to lift the New York Rangers to a 5-4 comeback overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens at Madison Square Garden. New York fell behind 3-0 early after Montreal scored three straight goals, including a back-door tap-in from Zachary Bolduc set up by Nick Suzuki. The Rangers led shot attempts at five-on-five in every period and finished with more than 55% possession share, dominated five-on-five high-danger chances 12-3 and held a 61.1% expected-goal share. The team has pushed multiple recent home games to overtime and rallied to earn the extra point.
