It was one of the Rangers’ better penalty kills of the season, and it showed how their man-down group is starting to come together.
After Tony DeAngelo took a frustrating interference penalty early in the third period of the 3-2 win over the Islanders on Thursday, the Blueshirts put together a rather inspired kill. It was two full groups: Mika Zibanejad-Ryan Strome starting up front, with Brady Skjei and Jacob Trouba on the back end. When it went to Brett Howden and Jesper Fast along with Marc Staal and Ryan Lindgren, Fast blocked a shot followed by two blocks from Lindgren.
