My 3 Rangers stars

  1. Barclay Goodrow gets the top star for his work on the Rangers penalty kill as they held off the Blues three times.  Goodrow got a lot of ice time and was very physical, right through the third period.
  2. K’Andre Miller played 25:30, the most ice time of any Ranger and scored a beautiful power play goal, the first of his career.  On a night when the Bluehshirts defense was very ordinary, Miller was the best.
  3. Alexandar Georgiev gets the third star for surviving in an awful situation and keeping the game respectable.  He did allow two goals, but was hung out to dry on both and he stopped 16 of 18 shots, including some excellent stops in the third period.

The official 3 stars

  1. Robert Thomas
  2. Ville Husso
  3. Ryan O’Reilly

What’s next

The Rangers wrap up their four game road trip with a visit to the Dallas Stars on Saturday night. If they can steal a win it will have to classified as a “successful” road trip.   Game time is 8pm as the Blueshirts play their last game of the season outside of the Eastern Time Zone.

Look for the Rangers to rebound Saturday with a solid defensive effort.  If not, look out.
