One of those games where things just couldn't go right started off just :18 seconds into the first when a bouncing puck went over Henrik Lundqvist's shoulder and in for the Sabres first goal. The Rangers fought back and tied the game on the Power Play when Captain Ryan McDonagh netted his first of the season.
The Rangers took the lead in the second on another power play goal, this one off the stick of Rick Nash which stood as the go ahead goal until 1:33 later when Buffalo tie the game at two. Just under two minutes later Marc Stal put the Rangers back ahead and they took the lead into the locker room.
With the Rangers already 2 for 2 on the power play Buffalo got their chances in the 3rd period and cashed in on their second when the Rangers defense missed an assignment on rookie sensation Jack Eichel for the tying goal. Under two minutes later Buffalo took the lead for good on a deflection off of Mats Zuccarello's skate that just slid past a sprawling henrik Lundqvist.
Rangers return to action on Saturday facing the Carolina Hurricanes at Home. Game Time 7:00 PM
