Rangers use perfect penalty kill to get much-needed win over Stars
NY Post
DALLAS — A win the Rangers could feel good about was at the top of their wish list for the holidays.
Especially with a grueling schedule ahead before the calendar flips to 2025, the Blueshirts’ 3-1 win over the Stars — a Western Conference contender — on Friday night at American Airlines Center was both a performance and a triumph that injected confidence.
Against a high-volume shooting team like Dallas and in front of a sold-out crowd of 18,532, the Rangers snapped a three-game losing streak and picked up their first victory over a team in playoff position since Nov. 19.
“It’s huge,” Adam Fox said. “It’s obviously no secret we haven’t liked our game the past month, call it. We’ve talked as a group, we know we have this in us, and it takes everyone to do it. It’s not one guy here and there. It takes everyone. Everyone I thought was battling. We got to carry this momentum and give a good effort on home ice, as well.”
The Rangers’ penalty kill was the star of the show Friday night.
