RANGERS VS RED WINGS POST GAME WRAP UP 11/23

LUNDQVIST STANDS TALL IN RANGERS 2-1 OVERTIME WIN

60 minutes and 37 seconds is all it took for the Rangers to gain a much earned 2 points in the standings. A 40 save performance by Henrik lundqvist backed by a Chris Kreider game tying goal and an Overtime game winner by Mats Zuccarello put the Rangers over the visiting Red Wings 2-1.

A back and forth goaltending clinic put on by both Henrik Lundqvist and Jimmy Howard where we saw 50 shots on goal and 50 saves combined heading into a scoreless third period.

Detroit opened  the scoring with Michael Grabner in the Box and with 2 seconds remaining on their power play when Detroit's Tatar put one past Lundqvist on a screen in the first 5 minutes of the period. The Rangers were able to come back and tie the game just over 6 minutes later when Chris Kreider finally put one past Jimmy Howard to tie the game 1-1. The teams played the rest of the period scoreless and headed for 2 on 3 overtime.

Just 32 seconds into the overtime period after Henrik Lundqvist lost his stick Brady Skjei carried the puck into the Red Wings Zone and did a spin-o-rama move by the goal line a slid the puck to an open Mats Zuccarello for the game winner.
