Captain Jared Spurgeon (power play), Kirill Kaprizov (team-leading 19th and 20th), Ryan Hartman (second in as many games) and Matt Boldy (18th) supplied the other goals, but it was Faber who appeared to benefit most from Hughes’ arrival.

The Rangers withstood the B’s surge and then took advantage of the B’s penchant for penalties. The B’s were in the process of killing off a Marat Khusnutdinov high stick when disaster struck. With six seconds left on the Khusnutdinov penalty, Hampus Lindholm took a double minor for high-sticking Jonny Brodzinski.
