NY Post
Save some goals for the rest of the game!
The Rangers and Lightning put on a goal-scoring clinic in the first period on Wednesday in Tampa, tallying a combined seven goals with seven different skaters finding the back of the net.
The wild opening frame marked the first time two teams notched seven-plus goals in a first period since March 16, 2023.
The four goals scored through the first 7:08 marked the fastest time that teams had combined for that many goals this season.
The Rangers had not scored four goals in a first period since April 10 against the Islanders.
Will Cuylle, J.T. Miller, Alexis Lafrenière and Will Borgen scored for the Rangers, while Scott Sabourin, Zemgus Girgensons and Jake Guentzel were the goal scorers for the Lightning.

The alliance between the Mara Family and the Tisch Family has, by and large, been the gold standard for all such partnership agreements. From the moment Wellington Mara and Robert Tisch entered into their 50-50 arrangement at the top of the Giants’ organizational flow chart on Feb. 21, 1991, this has been a model affiliation.
