5.) Jesper Fast’s Short-handed Goal in Game 5
In a series the Rangers had tied only two nights prior in Game 4, Fast knew he would have to put up an extra special effort. The talented right winger received a great pass that sent him right in one Price on the Canadiens’ power play.
Mika Zibanejad made a small but nifty pass to Fast, who shot the puck past Price to knot the important game up at one. He later stated in a post game interview that he only knew the puck went in because “Mika was yelling at me.”
As it would have it, the Canadiens also scored on that power play. However, his goal gave momentum to the Rangers and definitely helped in the long-run that night.
