Three massive takeaways from the New York Rangers victory against the Red Wings
The The New York Rangers have completed the series sweep against the Detroit Red Wings in the regular season.
Jonathan Quick and the Rangers shutout former Blueshirt Patrick Kane, and the Red Wings 4-0.
This Rangers team put on a show we'd expect to see from two weeks earlier, and not the same squad who gave up six goals to the Buffalo Sabres.
Chris Kreider, Reilly Smith, Jimmy Vesey, and Artemi Panarin delivered offensively and each scored a goal.
That's been good enough in recent wins against the Ottawa Senators, New York Islanders and now the Red Wings. But it's not a recipe for long-term success, especially when the Stanley Cup Playoffs arrive.
Quick Delivery of a W
Jonathan Quick made 37 saves on 37 shots on goal against the Detroit Red Wings. This was after he saved 9 of 10 shots against the Sabres in relief. Quick earned his 61st shutout of his career, and 1st with the Rangers.
The 38-year-old has a 1.17 GAA, and a .964 save percentage in four games played.
3=1
Zac Jones and Braden Schneider stood out as the best defensive pair on the ice. They broke out the puck when they needed to, contributed on both sides of the puck proving themselves reliable, as they were against the Sabres. Even then passing the eye test, they passed the Stat test too.
Rangers sweep the series
The Rangers swept the Red Wings, with a 3-0-0 series record this season, outscoring the team 13-3. This gives the Rangers an interesting statistic, they have won 33% of their games against the winged wheel.
