With Igor Shesterkin, Adam Fox, Filip Chytil and Barclay Goodrow all out of the line-up, the Rangers were up for their first adversity test of the season. Despite an impressive start, the Rangers lost control of the game but a strong night from Jonathan Quick kept them involved and forced the first shootout of the season.
1st Period:
After a great start for the Rangers, the fourth line got them on the board on their first shift of the night just three and a half minutes into the game. Ryan Lindgren let a shot go from the point that deflected off of Tyler Pitlick and redirected off of Jimmy Vesey who went hard to the net to capitalize on the scoring chance.
