So #NYR finish a tough 5 game stretch going 2-1-2. Good effort against some tough competition Next 5 they're going to need points though: @ CHI (3-5-2 in last 10) v MTL (0 RW in last 5) v ANA (1-4-0 in last 5 road games) v VAN (3-7-3 in last 13) @ STL (4-3-1 in last 8)

Eichel gets a breakaway and win it in OT

Weird seeing so much 4 on 4 in OT

END OF THIRD SCORE: #NYR 2-2 VGK (1-0 VGK in 3rd) SHOTS: NYR 23-28 VGK (9-3 VGK) SAT: NYR 41-71 VGK (32-6 VGK) PP: NYR 0 for 0 - VGK 0 for 1 FO: NYR 22-25 VGK (5-5)

Vegas tie it on the rebound, Hertl sweeping it in

1:36 to go, and Hart has gone to the bench

Borgen and Howden going off for matching minors, and Sullivan is livid

2:32 to go, we're going to draw this out as long as we can with ad breaks

Morrow has mixed in some nice defensive plays as he's gotten more time

Apparently whomever is playing from left to right gets the most shots in this game. The left team has outshot the right by a total of 35-12

Johnathan Quick to the bench...to have a chat during the ad break

We're five seconds away from the unsponsored final 5 of regulation

Barbashev with a breakaway, Mr Quick says

Too many lateral passes again from the #NYR, need to play with the puck in front of them

Vegas starting to get some chances again, #NYR need to watch out here

Cuylle with a nice defensive play there, leant on the stick so the Vegas player couldn't get to the rebound

Sheary with a breakaway after a great block at the #NYR blueline, but can't beat Hart

Borgen just stole an A from Saad with a big hit on the back boards after he had jumped off the bench and got to a loose puck in the #NYR zone

Soucy a big play there after Schneider fell. Broke up a 2 on 1 right in front of the net

Ref just took a puck to the shin off of a Quick save

Chmelar has had a solid game here too, not flashy but has had a couple of solid plays along the boards

Geez. Let's not give Vegas any more PPs.

They've called Panarin for high sticking, so Vegas gets the first PP of the game. Sullivan not amused

RANGERS GOAL: #NYR 2-1 VGK SECOND PERIOD: 13:01 ALEXIS LAFRENIERE (7) from MIKA ZIBANEJAD (13) and ARTEMI PANARIN (22)

Artemi Panarin with an assist on the Lafreniere goal, gives him 582 points as a #NYR, tying Chris Kreider for 10th all time

Sorry, that should be 209th POINT

99th career goal for Alexis Lafreniere, ties Dave Balon and Reijo Ruotsalainen for 62nd all time on the #NYR

RANGERS GOAL: #NYR 1-1 VGK SECOND PERIOD: 09:08 MIKA ZIBANEJAD (11) from ALEXIS LAFRENIERE (10) and MATTHEW ROBERTSON (2)

ALEXIS LAFRENIERE!!!!!!!!!!! #NYR 2-1 VGK

209th career assist for Alexis Lafreniere ties Red Sullivan for 79th on the #NYR

They've added an assist to Alexis Lafreniere which gives him 10 on the season. Fifth #NYR to double figures in assists: 23 - Fox 21 - Panarin 12 - Zibanejad 11 - Miller 10 - Lafreniere (1)

Shots now tied at 13-13

261st goal as a #NYR for Mika Zibanejad, now just 1 behind Vic Hadfield for 6th all time

MIKA ZIBANEJAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #NYR 1-1 VGK

Wish more #NYR had Laba's mindset, he doesn't give up on plays whether it's defense or offense

Soucy was seemingly stabilizing his game, but tonight and yesterday seem a bit more accident prone again

Make that 6 minutes now and shots are now 3-2 #NYR, better yet, the Rangers have attempted 10 shots already, only attempted 8 in the first

That was an ungainly swipe by Quick as he tried to track down an intercept a puck way out to his right, fortunately didn't end up in any danger

These first 3 minutes of the second have been better from the #NYR, already have 2 shots (had 3 total in the first). Better yet, Vegas has had 1 shot.

Vegas were overcharged 3 shots, so they only have 8 from the first period

END OF FIRST SCORE: #NYR 0-1 VGK SHOTS: NYR 3-11 VGK SAT: NYR 8-23 VGK PP: NYR 0 for 0 - VGK 0 for 0 FO: NYR 7-9 VGK

Sheary seems to have some energy tonight...perhaps feeling that goal from yesterday

Finally a couple of good shifts from the #NYR

Yeah...it hasn't yet

Carrick sees this too, and drops the gloves with Kolesar...got the crowd into it at least, let's see if it wakes up the team

The Rangers look a bit flat tonight...Vegas with more energy, not good signs early
