Brennan Othmann’s long-awaited look with Rangers’ top six came with instant dividends

With Vancouver forward Jake DeBrusk on his back, Brennan Othmann helped usher the puck out along the wall to Braden Schneider, who whipped it at the net for Adam Fox to tip in and tie Saturday afternoon’s game up at one-all on the way to the Rangers’ 4-3 victory over the Canucks.

And with it, the 22-year-old rookie finally had his first NHL point in his 16th career game.

The NHL’s situation room in Toronto then took away the secondary assist and gave it to Alexis Lafrenière, who had rimmed the puck around the zone.

Upon the Blueshirts’ request for a second — or third? — look, however, the point officially was returned to Othmann.

“At the start they said me, then they switched it to [Lafrenière]. We both kind of looked at each other and started laughing,” said Othmann, who was informed of the re-reversal by a reporter in the locker room after the game. “Now you just told me, so it’s pretty cool.”

“It’s nice to get it out of the way. Happy we won though and want to keep pushing for a playoff spot.”
