Although the first period scoring ended there, Trouba netted a goal of his own, in the second period, illustrating why the Rangers lead the league in defensemen scoring.

Around the nine and a half mark in the middle frame, Fast extended the comfortable lead to make it a 4-0 game. Despite the Knights’ persistence in front of the Rangers net, Georgiev remained just as solid as he has been the past four games.

A few third period penalties for both teams later, Zibanejad was able to score on the power play when his centering pass richochet off a Vegas player and into the net with under five minutes remaining. With that, Vegas’s fate was sealed and the Rangers celebrated a well-earned victory.
