The New York Rangers hosted the Nashville Predators in the match played today in the National Hockey League (NHL). The match ended in a smashing victory with the home team’s score of 7:0.
The Rangers opened the score in the third minute of the game and then launched a real siege on Kevin Lankinen’s goal five minutes later. Every minute, the players of the home team sent the puck to the opponent’s goal, and in the 11th minute of the match, the score was already 5:0. Nashvilulu even had to change his goalkeeper.
It is worth noting that before the first timeout, the host managed to hit the opponent’s goal once again with a new goalkeeper “in the frame”.
In the second period, the Rangers acted more modestly. Only one disc has visited the gates of Juuse Saros.
Russian Artemy Panarin directly contributed to three of the seven goals scored. He assisted his partners twice and scored one goal himself.
Panarin has scored 23 goals and 57 assists in 65 league games this season. He is the team’s top scorer.
It was previously reported that Nikita Kucherov becomes first Russian to score 100 points this NHL season.
