The Rangers will look to avoid falling into a daunting 2-0 series hole in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Panthers on Friday night.
Florida stole Game 1 on the road with a convincing, 3-0 victory. The blue shirts were shut out for the first time this postseason, stymied by Sergei Bobrovsky, who made 23 saves in net.
Matthew Tkachuk opened the scoring with his first playoff goal since Game 1 of the second round. Carter Verhaeghe received credit for a Rangers own-goal, and Sam Bennett finished the scoring with an empty-netter.
This is the first time in the 2024 NHL Playoffs that the Rangers are facing a series deficit. They swept the Capitals in the opening round, and went up 3-0 on the Hurricanes before closing the series in six games.
