Alexandar Georgiev started the period off well with a handful of tough saves, including a breakaway stop against Richard Panik. However, he let in a weak goal for the second-straight game. Carl Hagelin beat Georgiev from a perimeter shot.
Soon after, the Rangers’ lethal power play was afforded an opportunity and the usual players hooked up to even the score. The Rangers’ five-man unit cycled the puck around the offensive zone before finding its way to Artemi Panarin, whose slap pass was redirected in front by Mika Zibanejad.
