When the New York Rangers faced off against the Boston Bruins on Saturday, it was a high-stakes matchup between the top teams in the Eastern Conference. In a thrilling game, Jimmy Vesey’s goal during a delayed penalty late in the second period gave the Rangers the lead they needed to secure a 7-4 victory. Chris Kreider also scored twice, and Jonathan Quick made 27 saves to solidify the Rangers’ dominant performance.
Kreider, who leads the Rangers with 13 goals, showcased his talent with a power play and short-handed goal. Other key contributors to the Rangers’ win included Nick Bonino, K’Andre Miller, Tyler Pitlick, and Artemi Panarin, with Vincent Trocheck providing two assists for the team.
On the Bruins’ side, Charlie Coyle’s two goals, along with scores from Morgan Geekie and David Pastrnak, were not enough to overcome the Rangers’ relentless offense.
Quick, who continues to impress as the Rangers’ goalie, improved his record to 6-0-1 after signing as a free agent last summer. Boston faced an early setback when they allowed Bonino to score his first goal as a Ranger, and despite a valiant effort, the team fell short.
Looking ahead, the Bruins will face the Columbus Blue Jackets while the Rangers will host the Buffalo Sabres in their next matchups. With this impressive win, the Rangers improved to 8-1-0 against Eastern Conference opponents this season, setting them up for continued success.
