Rangers pick up key comeback win with revenge victory over Bruins
NY Post
With just over eight minutes left on the clock, tied at two-all and skating shorthanded, the Rangers snagged possession.
Mika Zibanejad pushed up the ice and glanced back before carrying the puck into the offensive zone. With just a few explosive strides, Chris Kreider bolted up the middle — splitting tired Boston forwards Matthew Poitras and David Pastrnak — to join the best man in his wedding on the 2-on-1 rush.
The pass bounced off a backchecking Charlie McAvoy before it was settled by the skate of Kreider, who then buried it off a tough angle to shoot onlooking fans out of their seats and ultimately secure the Blueshirts’ 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
“I feel like I’ve missed a lot of those the last few months,” Kreider told The Post after the win, which pushed the Rangers to four points out of the second wild card. “Nice to see one go in.”
The game-winning goal was Kreider’s third shorthanded score of the season, as well as the Rangers’ ninth of the season, which ties the club with the Lighting for the second most in the NHL.
It also tied Kreider with Bill Fairbairn for fourth place on the Rangers’ all-time shorthanded goal list at 12.
