Breaking down the second period

The second period started with the Rangers having a bit of a boost on offense. Panarin and Zibanejad had chances early, which led to a quick chance for Zibanejad to tie the game at 1-1 but hit the post on a fast shot to an open corner of Kuemper’s office.

The Rangers clearly won the 20 minute span. They outscored and outshot Arizona and gave themselves plenty of life heading into the third. A statement definitely had to be made after the gruesome first period.

But an unfortunate call for a penalty against Buchnevich turned into the official low point of the period, as Goligoski sniped a one-timer past Georgiev that rang the post and went in for the power play score. Arizona spread themselves out on the power play, giving themselves plenty of space to work with and using all of the Rangers’ defensive zone to work with.

Kreider’s impact

Chris Kreider had a pretty uneventful night when it came to offense. But on defense, he shined. No defenseman on the Rangers posted more than three hits, but Kreider on the other hand, posted five. He did take two shots that hit the net, but did have a giveaway in the process. He had 17:12 of ice time on the night (1:49 on the power play).
