Derick Brassard and Chris Kreider of the New York Rangers certainly love playing hockey in the spring.
With a three-point effort Saturday in Game 2 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Brassard has joined some impressive company on New York's all-time postseason scoring list.

The Rangers have played a lot of playoff hockey over the past three years, and are hoping to make it four. Brassard's been an integral member of the Rangers' Stanley Cup dreams, having amassed 44 points in 56 career playoff games. He had nine goals and 16 points in last year's 19-game New York run, and six goals and six assists in 2014, when the Rangers went to the final.
Kreider, meanwhile, now has 13 goals in his last three playoffs. He had seven last year in 19 games, and five in 15 games in 2014. He's also making his way up the Rangers' playoff goal-scoring list:
