There’s no question that the New York Rangers’ 5-4 overtime win Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens was due in large part to their best players coming up big in clutch situations. But don’t discount the contributions from a string of unsung heroes, who helped the Rangers rally from 3-0 and 4-2 deficits in this signature victory.
For sure, the Rangers don’t win without J.T. Miller’s two goals, including the OT winner when Mika Zibanejad dished out the primary assist. Vincent Trocheck also assisted on the game-winner and led all skaters with six hits.
