The New York Rangers give up early goals in a way I don’t think I have ever seen before, and a goal by Jay Beagle 14 seconds into the game seemed like a bad omen.
To his credit, Henrik Lundqvist battled back the rest of the period stopping the next 16 shots he faced.
The Rangers were lucky to escape the period only down a goal, as Alex Ovechkin was given a very early holiday gift from Nick Holden, but failed to capitalize.
