NEW YORK — The celebration started long before puck drop, with the Rangers rolling out a blue carpet to honor former longtime goaltender Henrik Lundqvist by retiring his jersey.
But the Wild crashed the party, rallying for a 3-2 victory on Friday at Madison Square Garden for its fourth straight win and seventh in its last eight games.
After blanking on a penalty shot in the second period, Frederick Gaudreau received a real-time breakaway in the third period and this time he converted at 1 minute, 49 seconds to resolve a 2-2 tie.
