It was not the prettiest of wins, it was not the prettiest of games for the Rangers, but the shootout was a thing of beauty. After a very lack luster 2 periods, the third period was a completely different story, the Rangers were trailing 1-0 when Patrick Kaleta nailed Brad Richards in the lower back, sending him head first into the boards, igniting a fire in the Rangers that we haven’t seen much of this year. The Rangers would score 2 goals in 43 seconds to temporarily that a 2-1 lead, giving up the game tying shorthanded goal with 8:18 left in regulation.
