New York, a 5-2 winner at Madison Square Garden, tied at three wins over Carolina in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NHL play-offs on Saturday.
The epilogue of this series, which saw each team win at home, will take place at the Hurricanes on Monday. The winner will challenge two-time defending champion Tampa Bay in the next round.
A double from Filip Chityl in the 2nd period notably allowed Rangers to escape the score, their goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin contributing largely to New York’s success, with 37 saves and… two assists.
