New York Rangers-Islanders Part 1: A disheartening 4-3 loss on a last minute goal
By Steve Paulus
My three players of the game
- Jesper Fast played another dynamic game. He scored a spectacular goal in the third period and led the team with six hits. He had a wrap around attempt in the third period that just missed. The effort he puts out every game is an example to his teammates. He’s now scored in two straight games.
- Ryan Strome played a solid game against his former team. He led of the scoring with a first period power play goal and he had an all around good game. He was 7 of 14 on faceoffs as well.
- Kevin Shattenkirk played one of his better games this season. He seemed to be skating easier and he is at least one Ranger w ho has listened to the coach’s mantra about shooting the puck. He had thirteen shot attempts including six shots on goal.
