It’s right back to work for the New York Rangers on Sunday night, when they host the Vegas Golden Knights in the second of back-to-back games at Madison Square Garden this weekend.
The Rangers (15-12-3) lost the front end of this back to back, falling 3-2 in overtime to the Colorado Avalanche in a Saturday matinee. Though they didn’t defeat the top team in the NHL, the Rangers did secure a vital standings point when Artemi Panarin scored a 6-on-5 goal in the final minute to tie the game and force overtime.
That, and their continued strong team effort and play against such an elite opponent left the Rangers feeling pretty good about things afterward.
