Rangers stun conference-leading Hurricanes in much needed road win
NY Post
RALEIGH, N.C. — For Thanksgiving, the Rangers should be grateful they are just over .500.

“Today, I don’t think we were at our best. We found a way to win, and I thought our third was our best period,” said captain J.T. Miller, who returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games with an upper-body injury. “It’s funny, you go through the first 15 games of the year, how many games we thought we should have won. This is one of those that hopefully can help even some of those out. It’s a really good team. They play right in your face, on top of you. It’s no surprise, they’ve done it for so long.
“I think they played a little quicker than us for a majority of the game, but I thought in the third we started to play behind them and held on to pucks and had our best period. When we did have some breakdowns, [goalie Igor Shesterkin] played unreal.”
