New York Rangers vs New York Islanders: A 6-2 thrashing of their rivals

My three stars of the game

1. Artemi Panarin.  What more can you say.  Five points, two goals.  The offensive catalyst who simply cannot be stopped.  Another  brilliant game in a season of brilliance.
2. Adam Fox  had yet another spectacular game and scored the most important goal, the one that gave the Rangers the two goal lead. He finished with a goal and as assist and he was excellent in his own zone.
3. Jester Fast had three assists and his tying goal put the the  game back within reach for the Blueshirts.  Fast scored the goal as he was diving forward, another example of the effort he puts in every game.  This season he is being rewarded more than ever.

What’s next

The Rangers are off until Thursday when part two of this adventure with the Islanders takes place. The Rangers get to go to the old Nassau Coliseum for this re-match.  You can be sure the Islanders will be out for blood.  The Isles do have to play in Detroit on Tuesday, so they won’t be as well rested.
