FIRST PERIOD: The New York Rangers were given a good scare by the Tampa Bay Lightning‘s Triplets line just seconds into the game as Nikita Kucherov was forgotten in front of the Rangers net and just missed wide.

At 8:01, the first penalty was awarded to Martin St. Louis for interference. On the Rangers penalty kill, Bolts’ Tyler Johnson was left alone in open ice as a battle for the puck in the corner ensued. The puck eventually found Johnson and he skated right up to the Rangers net, but couldn’t bury the puck.
