Ranking the top 5 Rangers wins
#4 – November 26: Rangers 5 Bruins 2
Any game against Boston is going to be a tough one. This game had a lot of noise surrounding it. It was a matinee game the day after Thanksgiving, and it was on national television.
The first period was very lackluster for the Rangers. They were outshot 17-5, and Craig Smith put the B’s up 1-0. Shesterkin made several huge saves that allowed them to stay in the game. With just six seconds remaining in the first, Panarin gave Strome a beautiful feed for the tying goal. Last second goals can be huge.
In the second, they went down 2-1 after a Patrice Bergeron goal. Dryden Hunt was able to equalize the game at two. This was on his short hot stint on the Panarin line. They looked much better this period, getting 19 shots on Jeremy Swayman.
The third period was all Rangers. They took it to the Bruins and scored three more goals to win by a score of 5-2. It was great to watch them come into the third period tied, on the road, against a tough team and take full control of the game. Panarin, Strome, Hunt, Fox and Julien Gauthier all registered two points.
Panarin even gave us all a laugh when he threw his glove at Brad Marchand.
It was an all-around great win for the Rangers.
