Rangers rookie uses backside to score first goal of the season

It might not go on the highlight reel, but Lias Andersson will take it.

The Rangers rookie forward got his first goal of the season and the second of his career when he crashed the net and got a rebound to go in off his backside, helping his team to a 4-2 win over the Senators on Monday night at the Garden.

“I don’t care. A goal’s a goal,” said Andersson, taken with the No. 7-overall pick in the 2017 draft but who started the season with AHL Hartford and played in his 11th game since being called up Nov.
