The Rangers have their backs against the wall but are not out of this series just yet. Playing on the road has been a plus throughout the postseason in both conferences (witness the Oilers winning in Dallas last night) and New York is 5-2 as a visitor in the playoffs, including a Game 3 win in Sunrise. The power play has not been working as well as it should but big-goal potential still oozes from Panarin, Zibanejad, Kreider, Trocheck (who has scored many big goals in these playoffs) and now Alexis Lafreniere, with four goals in the past three games. Igor Shesterkin also very capable in goal to get this series back to MSG for a Game 7. Play Rangers on Money Line

Do I think the Panthers win? Probably. Do I care who wins? Nope. Four straight one-goal games. What else can the play be? I will say that in a potential elimination game that the Rangers might pull their goalie super-early if down a goal in the third but thems the risks.
