UA-59049186-1 Rangers 1, Blackhawks 0 (OT) - Good if it Goes

Rangers 1, Blackhawks 0 (OT)

Box score (Yahoo)

The Blackhawks controlled the action early on as the Rangers seemed to be feeling the effects of playing a night ago. Unfortunately for the Hawks, they were unable to take advantage and the first period ended 0-0. As did the second. And the third. The Rangers would find their legs after the first and ended up out-shooting the Hawks, but the score remained tied at zeros regardless. The goaltenders were big parts of this as Scott Darling and former Blackhawk Antti Raanta stood on their respective heads. Unfortunately, one had to take the loss, and unfortunately for the Hawks, it was Darling. Fifty-five seconds into OT, Nick Holden came onto the ice for a change and nobody picked him up. He got the puck and beat Darling to give the Rangers the extra point.
