The New York Rangers rallied back with three goals in the third period, but ultimately fell short in the shootout. It was a game in which the Blueshirts beat themselves early on, and made things a lot more difficult than they had to be by making defensive mistakes, having lackadaisical coverage, and just moments where the team just didn’t seem in the game.
Philadelphia scored at 5:44 of the first when Cam York put in a shot off a faceoff, and less than a minute late Owen Tippett took advantage of open space and put a second puck past Igor Shesterkin.
