QuickTV Sports Replay | Rangers Dominate Lightning 7-3 with Cuylle and Trocheck Leading the Way 💥🏒
The New York Rangers put on a spectacular display in Tampa, defeating the Lightning 7-3. Will Cuylle and Vincent Trocheck were the stars of the night, each scoring two goals. Artemi Panarin added four assists, and Igor Shesterkin made 31 saves to help the Rangers extend their impressive road record to 8-1-1. This thrilling win saw the Rangers build an early lead, fend off a Lightning comeback, and finish strong in the third period.
Rangers Take Control Early, Cuylle Lights the Lamp 💥
It didn’t take long for the Rangers to assert their dominance in Tampa. Will Cuylle got things started with a power-play goal just 1:08 into the first period. The puck deflected off Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak and landed right on Cuylle’s stick for a quick tap-in from the doorstep. The early goal set the tone for the night, with New York taking an early lead.
The Rangers weren’t content with just a one-goal advantage. At 3:31, J.T. Miller redirected a pass from Mika Zibanejad off his skate and into the net, doubling the Rangers’ lead. Tampa Bay had a chance to respond, and Scott Sabourin made the most of it, pulling the Lightning to within one after beating Igor Shesterkin from the left circle at 6:04. However, the Rangers were quick to strike back. Just a minute later, Alexis Lafrenière scored from the right circle, restoring New York’s two-goal lead at 4-2.
Lightning's Push, But Rangers Hold Their Ground ⚡️
Tampa Bay wasn’t about to go down without a fight. With 6:01 left in the first period, Zemgus Girgensons capitalized on a loose puck and scored to make it 3-2. The Lightning were now within striking distance, and the game had the makings of a tight, back-and-forth battle.
But the Rangers weren’t going to let their lead slip away. Will Borgen capped off a solid first period with a goal at 3:40, making it 4-2. Just over a minute later, Jake Guentzel scored a short-handed goal for Tampa Bay to bring the score to 4-3, and the Lightning’s hopes of a comeback were alive. Despite the pressure, the Rangers kept pushing forward, and at 1:41 remaining in the second period, Vincent Trocheck took a perfect cross-ice pass from Artemi Panarin and fired it into the net, putting New York ahead 5-3.
Trocheck and Cuylle Put the Game Away 💥
The third period was all about sealing the deal for the Rangers. Trocheck wasn’t finished yet—at 5:03 of the third period, he scored from the slot, giving the Rangers a comfortable 6-3 lead. This goal seemed to deflate any remaining hope for the Lightning.
With 2:11 left in the game, Cuylle completed his two-goal performance by scoring an empty-netter to finalize the 7-3 victory. Panarin, who had already recorded four assists, played a critical role in both of Trocheck’s goals, continuing to showcase his playmaking brilliance.
Shesterkin’s Key Saves & Panarin’s Masterful Playmaking 🧤
While the Rangers’ offensive firepower grabbed much of the attention, Igor Shesterkin’s performance in goal was also crucial to the win. The Lightning’s shots came fast and furious, but Shesterkin was up to the challenge, stopping 31 shots and making key saves throughout the game. Though Tampa Bay found the back of the net a few times, Shesterkin's timely saves allowed the Rangers to keep their lead intact.
Artemi Panarin’s playmaking skills were on full display, as he set up multiple goals with his vision and precision. His four assists were the most in the game, and he played a key role in both Trocheck’s and Cuylle’s goals. Panarin’s ability to make perfect passes in critical moments was a key factor in the Rangers’ offensive success.
Rangers' Road Dominance Continues 💥🏒
With this win, the Rangers improved to an outstanding 8-1-1 on the road, solidifying their status as one of the top teams in the NHL. New York’s ability to play well in hostile environments has been impressive, and this victory over the Lightning was no exception.
