The New York Rangers achieved a pivotal 3-2 victory against the Boston Bruins, bringing back memories of last year's resilience. This win was crucial for the Rangers' playoff aspirations, providing a four-point swing by defeating a direct rival in regulation. The team's defensive effort was remarkable, holding the Bruins to just 17 shots. Chris Kreider played a key role, scoring the game-winning goal while shorthanded, marking his 50th career game-winner. His resurgence is notable, especially following the JT Miller trade, which appears to have improved team dynamics and performance.
Equally important was beating the Bruins in regulation in a huge four point swing game that could have single handedly put the Rangers out of playoff contention.
The Rangers put on a defensive clinic, something we haven't seen much of this season, limiting Boston to 17 total shots.
Kreider's shorthanded winner was vintage Kreider. The goal was Kreider's 50th game winning goal and the 320th career goal.
Miller definitely fits the vision both Chris Drury and Peter Laviolette have, as Miller was key in the Rangers first goal.
