Rangers 3, Kraken 2(OT)

Published by

on

Unlike the Boo Jays, the Rangers found a way to win in the extra frame last night, beating Seattle 3-2 in OT. Once again, not a very pretty win but a win none the less.

Gavrikov (1) got the scoring started mid-way in the first period, putting a blue line seeing eye shot past Daccord at 10:16. Nobody is looking for a lot of offense from Gavrikov but it is nice to see him get one in. Fox (7) and Brodzinski (1) credited with assists. As usual the Rangers, who can’t have nice things for long, gave up a PPG by Stephenson (3) to tie the game at 12:49, Dunn (5) and Tolvanen (3) assisting. Shesterkin had a pretty clean look at the shot but 🤷‍♂️. 1-1…for another minute until new Ranger star Laba (2) stuck with the play and hustled to push a rebounding shot from Cuylle (4) past Daccord before falling to the ice and crashing into the boards. Lafreniere (5) got the secondary assist. The first period would have a bit of a pond hockey feel to it but ultimately ended 2-1 NYR.

The only other goal scored in regulation came at 06:59 of the second when Montour (3) rifled a shot from the top of the circle past Shesterkin who seemed to be well positioned but failed to pick up the puck. 2-2 after two and three and on to OT we go.

After exchanging chances to start the OT, Miller would take the back pass from Fox at the Ranger blue line, skate up the middle and split Eberle and Stephenson before dishing to a wide open Cuylle skating through the right circle. Cuylle wasted no time before putting a snap shot in the net to send the Rangers back to NYC winners of three in a row, the first time since Nov. 19 2024 when they won three in a row in regulation.

Statistic of note: NYR 41/66 on faceoffs last night, including 8/12 by Laba and 13/19 by Miller.

Rumor that long time but now infrequent blog commenter Norm was seen on a milk carton in one of the concession stands. At this time, RR3 is unable to verify 🤣

Scoring details below:


The Rangers return to MSG to host the Carolina Hurricanes Tuesday night at 19:00 EDT. Telecast by MSG, SN1, TNT, truTV and HBO MAX.

    A lot of good signs. We will see where it goes. One thing is very clear to me is that Panarin no longer fits into what they are trying to do.

    Good trip ..great defense..lousy powerplay…Miller woke up…Bread and Laffy next?

    Elite finisher was never LaCoast’s MO, but he was one of the team most efficient 5v5 goal scorers for a few years there and need to get back to potting his fair share.

    Disco Mika hasn’t been a bad 2-way center, mostly, playing within the system and he even threw a timely body check last night.

    There I said something nice. Neither of these guys likely to make opposing players fear for their physical safety but these are ways they can obviously contribute.

    Why bread can’t figure it out on the power play still a mystery.

    Ironic how for years the Rangers won games and sucked at faceoff but elite power play. Now they suck at power play and winning games but elite faceoff guys.

    Drury brought in guys who want to play D. That’s an improvement. Clear the crease, win puck battles, make a good first pass. If the do that they are competent. They are mostly willing to play 5 man D so far. Credit Sully and staff for that. That has allowed them to win 2 straigh games when Igor was average at best. He needs to be better and the PP needs to be better if they are going to be more than a bubble team.

    I repeat from last night’s thread- Mika threw a big hit last night! I thought I was in the middle of a fever dream! Then he threw another in the 3rd to separate the man from the puck. Is he actually buying in?

    On msg they mentioned that Montours shot was the hardest shot that resulted in a goal in the NHL this year. Something like 96.4 mph

    From the circle lasered top shelf. No blame on Shesty for that one.

    I hope they keep Alex Faust busy enough to keep him around MSG with plan for him to supplant Kenny. The kid is great in the booth. Bright future ahead at 36 yo

    Chmelar can practice with them during the week and the staff can evaluate him. Hope they send him back to Hartford for the weekend so that he can play. They don’t play many games during the week.

    If they moved Othmann for 200K on the cap, there were certainly other lesser players in Hartford that could have become place holders. Not even sure why they would need to fill it as they are in NY again.

    They always carry a 13th forward. As soon as Trocheck is able to come back, chemelar will be gone. Chemelar is a lesser player.

    They need to shake up the PP. It needs to produce or every game will be 1-0 or 2-1. PK has been leaking a bit too. They don’t have much margin for error.

    This was what one , I believe Blueshirt Bulletin Blog proposed when Trocheck returns & Perreault is brought up. . Wow, does that make sense. Being able to rotate 4 lines

    Panarin – Zibanejad – Miller
    Lafrenière – Laba – Perreault
    Cuylle – Trocheck – Parssinen
    Edstrom – Carrick – Raddysh

    Lana playing over Tro as 2C ain’t happening imho

    Bring Perrault into this mix is not advised either. Give the kid 30 games in minors to work on D coverage in Sully’s system.

    Would also mean Sheary would be sitting at the kids table for Thanksgiving

    Perrault should stay in Hartford until Christmas. There’s no need to rush him along. When he arrives they will be a deeper team than they were at the start of the season. Laba and Perrault would be significant adds.

    Sully On Chmelar(“hem-a-lash” per GGMM)

    “I think it’s as simple as that,” Sullivan said of the 6-foot-4 forward, who skated with the Blueshirts on Monday. “He’s played extremely well for them, and he’s deserving of getting the call-up — and that’s why he’s here.”

    “I think it’s a great message for everybody. Performance matters. It matters in practice. It matters in the games, whether you’re in New York or you’re in Hartford.”

    Sullivan also said he talked with Brennan Othmann — sent to Hartford in a corresponding move after logging one game with the Rangers on their recent road trip — about attention to detail and the subtleties of his game, while acknowledging that it’s better for Othmann’s development to log consistent AHL minutes as opposed to getting scratched with the Rangers.
