New York Rangers: Dan Girardi’s top moments and more

OT winner vs. Islanders

In the 788 games Girardi skated in with the Rangers, he recorded 46 goals and 184 assists for 230 points and was plus-54.

During his 11 years with the Rangers, Girardi proved that he was an effective blueline player. He was able to control pucks along the line, maintain possession and generate scoring opportunities from the point.

But here, in this OT winner against the New York Islanders in 2012, Girardi displayed his sense and his ability to step up on the rush.

Though he was not as offensive as some of the other defensemen on the roster, Girardi has the power to put in pucks from the point. Many of the goals that Girardi scored during his time in New York seemed to come in big moments like this one.
