What happened on February 26 in the history of the New York Rangers

The New York Rangers play the Boston Bruins on this date in 2021 so we will take a trip back in time to 1990 in the hopes that it will provide some luck for the current Rangers. On this date 31 years ago, Darren Turcotte netted a hat trick as the Rangers beat Boston and swept the season series against the Bruins for the first time in franchise history.
