Three massive takeaways from the New York Rangers dominate victory against the New York Islanders on Sunday afternoon.
The New York Rangers did not let fans down this afternoon as the Rangers continued to dig deep and find the motivation to pull off another victory after beating the Montreal Canadiens in a close 2-1 game.
In the Rangers and Islanders first battle of New York of the 2024-25 season, the Rangers played some of their best hockey despite the score being 4-2. Leaving head coach Peter Laviolette happy with their performance as they now hold a record of 8-2-1.
Peter Laviolette on the Rangers' performance today:
Three boxes were checked off for the New York Rangers that Peter Laviolette was hoping to see out the Rangers after he changed up the lines.
Started on time - check.
Execution - check.
Effort - check.
The Rangers didn't waste much time as Mika Zibanejab and Chris Kreider came together for a little tic-tac-toe action in the first four minutes of the first period to give the Rangers an early 1-0 lead while being on the PK.
To follow up with the Rangers started the second period just as strong, as Vincent Trocheck managed to score the Rangers second goal within two minutes, netting his 200th career goal.
The Bruins are now on their second win streak of the year, and will look to make it three games in a row for the first time this year when they take on the Toronto Maple Leafs in an Original Six matchup on Tuesday night.
However, the Rangers are now on a bit a rest as their next won't be until Thursday, November 7th, as they will face off against the Buffalo Sabres on home ice at 7:00PM, in hopes they can secure another victory and extend their winning streak.
