Once again they played more than 60 minutes of hockey at Madison Square Garden on Sunday afternoon, there were seven goal-scorers and four lead changes in the game, but in the end for the Rangers, as Mats Zuccarello put it, it really boils down to this: "Hankie gave us a point today."
Henrik Lundqvist made 37 saves on Sunday afternoon, though merely reciting the quantity does not tell the full story of the quality of his saves, in particular during the game's first 40 minutes. And not only did he prevent a heating-up Vegas team from running away with the game, he kept his Rangers within striking distance to stage their third-period comeback and snag a point out of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights at the Garden.
"He's unbelievable for sure. That's his point," Zuccarello said. "Today we were not there."
Finding themselves down by a single goal when the third period began, the Rangers finally did locate their legs and tied the game on Chris Kreider's bullet from the left dot 3:29 into the frame. But Alex Tuch stuffed in the winner at 2:11 of the 3-on-3 overtime to hand the Rangers their second OT defeat in three days.
