The New York Rangers have shown some inconsistency despite a good record, relying heavily on their excellent goaltender. However, this wasn’t enough in a recent game against the St. Louis Blues. The Rangers initially had a 2-0 lead at home but lost it by allowing three goals in the final 2:30 minutes of the period.
They fought back in the third period with goals from Patrik Nemeth, Chris Kreider on a power play, and Artemi Panarin sealing the win at 5-3. Panarin scored a goal and two assists, and Adam Fox contributed three assists in this eventful game. On the other hand, the Toronto Maple Leafs struggled, losing 5-1 to the struggling Buffalo Sabres. Despite the Sabres’ six-game losing streak, they managed to outplay the Maple Leafs, with Jeff Skinner scoring twice, goaltender Craig Anderson making 29 saves, and Dylan Cozens providing two assists to break their losing streak.
