The Rangers gets two points each from the slumping Jimmy Lodge and Joonas Donskoi, who earn game ratings of 5 and 6, respectively, for their troubles. The crucial first goal from Artyukhin establishes the pattern, as the Rangers earn the lead three times in regulation, only to give each up to goals from Tampa Bay's biggest stars - Fowler, Hedman and Stamkos. Nonetheless, the Rangers keep the streak alive by inflicting First Overtime Shot syndrome on Carey Price, ending the game 55 seconds in with an Eichel-to-Toews blast.
Congrats to Nicholas and commiserations to Geoff and his Lightning - only the latest in a long line of (at least formerly) veteran-laden teams eliminated thanks in part to questionable goaltending.
Conference Finals will thus be DAL @ CHI and NYR @ MTL, beginning... let's say Saturday.
