The Blue Shirts have now won two consecutive games this season. Cris Kreider put the Rangers on board at the 14:11 mark of the first period, bringing his total to three goals and five points.

In the second period, Clayton Keller scored his first career goal after maneuvering the puck past Seshterkin for a powerplay goal to tie the game 1-1.

The New York Rangers coach, Peter Laviolette, spoke to the media and shed his thoughts on the game (via NHL.com):

"That was a hard-fought win," Rangers coach Peter Laviolette said. "They play hard and they're a young team that's trying to move in the right direction. … It was pretty gutsy."
