The New York Rangers outlasted the Columbus Blue Jackets last night on the back of Alex Georgiev’s 45 saves, surviving with a 3-2 win. The Rangers were thoroughly crushed for most of the game, with Columbus controlling the shot attempts and scoring chances, but it was Georgiev who stood tall as the Rangers’ skilled players got them their 3-2 win.
Artemi Panarin scored the eventual winner against his former team as the Rangers took advantage of a few mistakes by the Blue Jackets. Joonas Korpisalo allowed three goals on just 19 Rangers shots as the Blue Jackets inability to finish and stop pucks again cost them.
