Montreal snapped a string of 16 straight games with travel by finding a reserve of energy to come back and beat New York.

It wasn't called initially, but Dave Jackson, the former NHL referee (now an analyst for ESPN), has just confirmed that a penalty should definitely have been called on this sequence. We've received a lot of questions about this, and here's the answer.

24hod.sk - Video: Slafkovský prispel gólom k triumfu Montrealu nad NY Rangers 5:4 pp (video) - Tomáš Tatar vsietil štvrtý gól v sezóne, jeho New Jersey však prehralo s Ottawou 1:2.

Slafkovský do pondelka odohral 43 zápasov základnej časti, v ktorých si pripísal 25 bodov (šesť gólov, 19 asistencií). Je vďaka tomu štvrtý najproduktívnejší hráč Canadiens, ktorý od začiatku kalendárneho roka bodovali v siedmich zápasoch z deviatich štartov.

V akcii bol aj Tomáš Tatar, ktorý vsietil štvrtý gól v sezóne.

Let's just New York Rangers coach Peter Laviolette was fine with how his team reacted to goalie Igor Shesterkin being hit by Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk.

Igor Shesterkin collected 20 saves en route to a shutout, and even entered into a fight behind his own net with Ottawa captain Brady Tkachuk in the third period, as the New York Rangers blanked the Senators 5-0 on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

One was worse, between 1942-45 during World War II. For New York hockey fans, the bizarre saga unfolded after the Rangers won the Stanley Cup in 1940, and finished first two years later, under coach Frank Boucher and general manager Lester Patrick.

Igor Shesterkin made 20 saves, Alexis Lafreniere had a goal and an assist and the Rangers beat the Senators on Tuesday night.

The Lightning are coming off a loss versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, and are now 5-6-1 dating back to Montreal’s visit in late December. They know they need to start playing better to fend off the Habs and the other teams rising up the Eastern Conference standings. The question is how much more Montreal wants to win tonight’s game.
