Print Edition
Derick Brassard finished with five points as New York kept its perfect record alive when facing elimination with a 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning to force Game 7 in the NHL Eastern Conference finals.
Brassard scored a hat-trick and added two assists for the Rangers who faced their fourth elimination game this postseason and once again conquered the challenge to even the series at 3-3.
鈥淲e battled all year for home ice. Our fans deserve that game,鈥 Brassard said of the winner-take-all contest which will take place tomorrow at New York鈥檚 Madison Square Garden.
New York seized control with a three-goal surge early in the third period of Tuesday鈥檚 contest in front of a crowd of 19,200 at Amalie Arena.
JT Miller and Rick Nash each had a goal and three assists, while James Sheppard and Keith Yandle also scored for the Rangers, who are aiming to get back to the Stanley Cup finals after losing in five games to the Los Angeles Kings last June.
Nikita Kucherov scored twice and Ryan Callahan had the other goal for Tampa Bay, which is looking to reach the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since winning it 11 years ago.
New York netminder Henrik Lundqvist made 36 saves while Tampa Bay goalie Ben Bishop gave up five on 26 shots and was pulled in the third for Andrei Vasilevskiy.
