Tonight, Rangers prospects are back in action at Traverse City. The eight-team tournament concludes tomorrow. Thus far, they’ve split two games losing and winning in overtime. In Sunday’s 2-1 win over the Sabres, Sam Noreau and Adam Tambellini scored with the latter getting the OT winner. They got strong goaltending from MacKenzie Skapski, who finished with 35 saves.
On Saturday, they blew a two-goal lead falling to the Stars in extras 4-3. Rangers goalscorers were Ryan Haggerty, Michael Kantor and Richard Nejezchleb. Haggerty had a sweet finish going five-hole to convert a breakaway while Kantor and Nejezchleb were each set up in front. Despite being unable to hold onto the lead, Brandon Halverson was impressive in net. He gets the start tonight.
