THIRD PERIOD RALLY PUTS RANGERS OVER DUCKS 3-1
Namestnikov's 3 Points, Hayes Shorthander Ends 3 Game Skid
Down 1-0 after a scoreless period and Anaheim's Pontus Aberg 2nd period tally the Rangers came into the third period with a chip on their shoulder holding the Ducks to 3 shots on goal in the final period while putting up 15 of their own.
Vladislav Namestnikov opened the scoring for the Rangers close to the half way point of the 3rd to pull the Rangers even 1-1 which held until the final minute. At the 17:25 mark of the period Filip Chytil rushed into the Anaheim zone and was pushed from behind by the Ducks defender leading to a collision with goaltender Chad Johnson. Chytil although he looked as he tried to stop before the run in was assessed a 2 minute penalty for goaltender interference putting the Rangers down a man with 2:35 to go. Just as the Rangers penalty was about to expire center Kevin Hayes rushed into Anaheim's zone and put one past Johnson for what would be the game winner with :05 left on the man advantage. Filip Chytil added an empty net goal to put the game out of reach for the Ducks with just 19 seconds remaining in regulation.
The win ended the Rangers 3 game skid, the last win coming on December 8 in Florida, a 5-4 shootout win and their first regulation win since a 4-2 win against Ottawa at MSG on November 26.
Backup Alexandar Georgiev stopped 14 shots to pick up his 5th win of the season. Vladislav Namestnikov tied a career high 3 point game picking up a goal and two primary assists. Kevin Hayes who tallied his own 3 point night in the previous loss to Arizona on Sunday picked up his 9th goal of the season.
The Rangers have now won both meetings in the season series against Anaheim in 2018-19. The Rangers have won eight of their last 10 games against the Ducks (8-2-0 record), dating back to Jan. 7, 2015.
