Chris Kreider scored his second goal for the Rangers, assisted by Vincent Trocheck and Artemi Panarin.
This assist was Panarin’s 50th this season. This is the third consecutive season that he has reached this milestone with the New York Rangers. He thus enters the club’s history by becoming the third player after Wayne Gretzky (3 seasons with more than 50 assists in 1996/97 – 1998/99) and Mark Messier (3 seasons with more than 50 assists in 1991/ 92 – 1992/94).
