Goal #5: Against Ondrej Pavelec (WPG)- 31 March 2015

Having already clinched a playoff spot, the Rangers rolled into the MTS Center in Winnipeg with their sights on the President’s Trophy.

However, they would need to deal with the raucous Jets fans, who made lives miserable to opposing teams. The score was tied at two, after the Rangers climbed back from being down one goal, twice.

With less than four minutes left, J.T. Miller passed to a speeding Chris Kreider. He made Jets tough guy Dustin Byfuglien spin around in his skates and gave the celly of the year after slipping it past Ondrej Pavelec.

It has to rank as one of the best goals he has scored. It combined everything: speed, power, and his ability to out-fake the goalie.

I mean, how can you not love his reaction at the end of the play?!
