Mishkin's Extra Shift: Significant moments help Rangers force Game 7

There were a couple of significant moments in this game – key moments that helped the Rangers tie up the series and set up a deciding seventh game Friday back in New York City.

The first of those occurred at the 3:36 mark of the game when Derick Brassard gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead. The Rangers never had to chase the game after that goal – and they played a solid, defensive game in protecting that lead.

The second came at the start of the third period. Leading 2-1 after two periods, the Rangers made a push early in the third and that push set the tone for the entire period.
