Based on the Rangers’ season-long penchant for resiliency and their terrific record at Madison Square Garden, Saturday night’s loss in Carolina seems more like a blip than anything else in their second-round series in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
The Carolina Hurricanes finally scored on the power play and it was enough to extend their second-round playoff series against the Rangers after a 4-3 win on Saturday night.
The Florida Panthers pounced on the power play, scoring twice on a Bruins double-minor — and four goals in all with a man advantage — to take a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
