What happened on September 24 in the history of the New York Rangers
Canada and the Soviet Union played game six of the Summit Series with the Canadians winning 3-2. It was a must win game as Canada was trailing in the series 1-3-1. They knew that they needed to win all three remaining games to win the series. A New York Rangers player had a key role in getting Canada started.
It was Rod Gilbert who got the comeback started as Dennis Hull put in the rebound of a Gilbert shot 5:13 into the second period, with the Soviets ahead 1-0.
