The New York Rangers will welcome the Carolina Hurricanes to Madison Square Garden for an NHL game on Tuesday. The New York Rangers won 7-0 in their last game over the Predators. Defenseman K’Andre Miller had two goals and two assists in New York’s six-goal first period, Jaroslav Halak made 22 saves for his first shutout of the season, and the Rangers beat the Nashville Predators 7-0 on Sunday night.
Artemi Panarin had a goal and two assists in the opening period, and Filip Chytil, Mika Zibenejad, Tyler Motte and Chris Kreider also scored to help New York cruise to its fourth-straight home win and second shutout in two days. The Rangers beat Pittsburgh 6-0 on Saturday night after also beating the Penguins on Thursday and Washington on Tuesday. The Rangers scored six times on their first eight shots, chasing Nashville starting goalie Kevin Lankinen after he gave up four goals on five shots.
He was replaced by Juuse Saros. Miller became the first defenseman in franchise history with four points in a single period as the Rangers led 6-0 less than 14 minutes in. The avalanche of early goals tied the franchise record for most in the first period, most recently achieved on Dec. 15, 1999, in an 8-3 home win over Los Angeles. “That was pretty fun,” Miller said. ”The puck was finding me.”
The Carolina Hurricanes on the other hand lost 4-5 against the Flyers in their last game. Sebastian Aho had a hat trick, including the winning goal 28 seconds into overtime after Martin Necas tied it with 0.3 seconds left in regulation, and the Carolina Hurricanes rallied to beat the Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 on Saturday. Brady Skjei also scored for the Hurricanes, and Frederick Andersen had 29 saves. Carolina held onto its lead in the Metropolitan Division after entering a point ahead of second-place New Jersey.
“We finally woke up,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We were sleeping through the game for that third period and even the second period. And we were just kind of going through the motions. Can’t do that in this league. So it was a good lesson.” After Carolina won the draw, Shayne Gostisbehere fired a slap shot that was stopped by goalie Felix Sandstrom with a stellar left pad save. But the puck caromed toward the other side of the net, where a wide-open Necas fired it home.
“I was just standing on the back door and the puck just, I don’t even know, somehow showed up there and I just banged it into the net,” he said. The Hurricanes celebrated wildly and then again when officials confirmed that the goal beat the end-of-game buzzer. “The goalie made an unbelievable save, so you think the game’s over,” Brind’Amour said. “And then, you know, we got a lucky break there. I’ll take it.”
