Kirby Dach served a four-minute penalty for a high-stick on Mika Zibanejad, and chaos would ensue as a scrum between Rangers players and Habs players happened.
Quick, and Mika Zibanejad would both earn roughing calls today, while the Rangers were busy holding a lead in the 2nd. Quick was defending himself and his Rangers teammates in the crease during the onslaught.
The matchups included Will Cuylle and Juraj Slafkovsky, Mika Zibanejad and Kirby Dach, and Arber Xhekaj and Brett Berard would get in on the scrum too.
The Rangers faithful would reward Jonathan Quick for his troubles in defending the crease.
The Rangers would be afforded another shot on the power play, which this afternoon saw the Rangers score on each power-play today. Kaapo Kakko, Artemi Panarin, and Vinnie Troecheck were the goal-scorers today.
And last but not least, the best clip of the day as the Madison Square Garden crowd cheers on Jonathan Quick for his penalty. In the Penalty box are Arber Xhekaj, Juraj Slafkovsky, and David Savard got to enjoy it while they were there.
Tonight was a special night for not only the Rangers breaking their losing streak but also a milestone for the franchise itself:
Say what you will about needless fights, but this scrum was a fit of passion and led to the Rangers finding a way to keep the Canadiens at bay, as they won 4-3.
