For the second time in as many games, the New York Rangers went to a shootout. This time, the end results were different.
On Thursday night, the Rangers defeated the Maple Leafs in the shootout to bump their record in the skills competition to 3-2. The Rangers have now tallied at least a point in 9 of their last 10 games. With Columbus idle, they jumped out in front of them in the standings by one point. The Jackets have two games in hand on the Rangers.
In a game that was tightly contested for three periods, the 3 on 3 overtime period was fantastic.
