Surging Rangers snare shootout win over Avalanche
NY Post
DENVER — This was just another feather in the Rangers’ cap, in a season that has collected a plume.
The Rangers’ 3-2 shootout win over a heavy Avalanche team at Ball Arena on Thursday night put an exclamation point on a 10-day stretch that was brimming with top opponents.
It counted as the first time the Blueshirts swept Colorado in the regular season since 2016-17, a feat that only looks more impressive when you analyze the Avs’ dominance over the rest of the NHL in the last few seasons.
“We’re pretty confident with our game right now,” said Vincent Trocheck, who — along with Artemi Panarin — scored in the skills competition to extend the Rangers’ win streak to four games.
“I feel like we’re only getting better. Since the deadline, I feel like we’ve rounded out our game a lot. Hopefully, we can continue to get better before the playoffs.”
Coming into the game, the Avalanche were only one loss removed from a season-high, nine-game win streak — and they competed accordingly.
