After An Afternoon Of Counterpunching, Rangers Find Way To Floor Panthers With Ot Knockout Blow

SUNRISE – By now, it has become apparent that the New York Rangers’ path to victory against the Florida Panthers in this Eastern Conference Stanley Cup playoff series will be counterpunching. So Sunday at Amerant Bank Arena they absorbed, withstood, and then landed the knockout of an Alex Wennberg goal 5:35 into overtime on a deflection of a Ryan Lindgren shot. No, the Rangers were not the better team for the majority of the afternoon, nor arguably for the much of the best-of-seven series’ first three games.
