Artemi Panarin returned to the lineup and instantly, all was well in the Rangers’ world.
Buoyed by Panarin’s return after a nine-game absence while on leave, the Rangers got an early lead, dominated possession, and ultimately beat the host Boston Bruins, 4-0, at TD Garden Saturday afternoon, reversing the result from Thursday and ending their three-game losing streak. With the victory, the Rangers closed out their six-game road trip with a 3-3 record.
Keith Kinkaid, getting the start in goal after relieving Alexandar Georgiev in Thursday’s 4-0 loss, earned his eighth career NHL shutout, and first with the Rangers.
