RALEIGH, N.C. — Sometimes, it truly is a game of inches. As it was when Sebastian Aho hit the crossbar. And Jesper Fast hit the post. And Aho hit the right post while standing alone in acres of open ice.
Then, once in a while, it’s a game of yards. Which is how far offsides Andrew Copp was when he scored what, momentarily, was the go-ahead goal for the New York Rangers.
From such margins, a game and even a season can change.
