"After a nice pre-game ceremony honoring Rangers from the 70's to the late 80's, the Rangers came out firing on all cylinders, getting the first 5 shots of the game and controlling play. That goodwill though was quickly shattered when the Rangers surrendered 2 goals on 2 shots, and shortly after, a 3rd goal that Igor would absolutely want back."
"Since the game was at the house of horrors that is MSG, it would have been easy for the Rangers to throw in the towel and continue the embarrassing trend of humiliating home losses. But the Rangers third line, the new Kid Line, had other ideas. Noah Laba scored his first power play goal, giving the team life and energy. Artemi Panarin scored on a penalty shot later in the period, and the Rangers were within a goal."
"JT Miller has had a brutal year and has seen his share of scrutiny, and justifiably so. Last night he woke up, showing his tangible "I will take over the game" skill as he scored the eventual tying and winnings goals. We may never know what is going on with Miller, but last night he looked like the JT Miller that Chris Drury wanted last year. Miller has to continue to bring his best to lead this team to more victories."
The New York Rangers mounted a comeback at Madison Square Garden, winning after falling behind early to Montreal. The team allowed three quick goals on limited shots, including one Igor Shesterkin would want back, but rallied despite shaky goaltending. The third-line Kid Line sparked momentum: Noah Laba scored his first power-play goal and Artemi Panarin converted a penalty shot, narrowing the deficit. JT Miller scored the tying and game-winning goals, providing a bounce-back performance. Matthew Robertson delivered a strong outing with two assists, and the victory halted recent home collapse trends.
