"We found a way to win tonight with unbelievable goaltending. Obviously, that was the biggest need for us tonight," New York coach Gerard Gallant said. "We didn't play our best, but the goaltender was incredible."
Braden Schneider scored, and Artemi Panarin extended his assist streak to five games (nine assists) for the Rangers (14-10-5), who have won three straight and are 4-1-1 in their past six games.
"We didn't manage the puck near as well as we did last game (5-1 win against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday)," Gallant said.
"We didn't seem to have much skating legs tonight, and we made a lot of plays in front of their defense that turned over and they went the other way. But again, I'm pretty happy with the win, but we got to be better than that most nights."
