Rangers sneak past the Blackhawks
Print Edition
The fast start for the New York Rangers was erased by the Chicago Blackhawks in a couple minutes during the first part of the second period.
Playing the Stanley Cup champions in their building, Henrik Lundqvist and company came up with an encouraging response.
Carl Hagelin scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period to lead the Rangers to a 3-2 victory over the Blackhawks on Wednesday night in Chicago.
“We worked so hard, so this is a big one for us,” said Lundqvist, who made 35 saves. “Playing such a good team and the position we’re in, we’re desperate for points and wins, so just a great feeling the way we played and got rewarded in the end with that big goal.”
The Rangers (22-20-3), who began the day in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, improved to 6-2-1 in their last nine games. They were coming off a 4-3 shootout loss at home against Columbus.
Asked if the victory over Chicago could be a tipping point for New York, coach Alain Vigneault responded: “All I know is beating the Stanley Cup champions in this building is not an easy task.”
Jonathan Toews and Brandon Bollig scored for the Blackhawks (29-8-9).
Elsewhere, the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 and the Colorado Avalanche defeated Ottawa 4-3 in overtime.
