On a special night that they remembered the 1990s Era, which featured the 1993-94 Stanley Cup Championship team, the Rangers delivered one of their best wins of the season by coming back to defeat the Bruins 4-3 in overtime.

Matthew Robertson scored the OT winner to give the Rangers only their sixth win of the season at MSG. It was a feel-good moment for the team after Carson Soucy was traded to the Islanders during the game.

The victory was their second over the last 10 games and first since Jan. 17.

Despite falling behind the Bruins 3-2 on a Morgan Geekie goal in the second period that David Pastrnak set up for his third assist of the game, the Rangers didn’t back down. Getting some big saves from Jonathan Quick, they were able to rally to tie the game on a goal from Will Borgen that changed direction off Geekie for the only goal of the third period.

Will Cuylle opened the scoring by getting his 12th from Urho Vaakanainen and Noah Laba on a deflection before 10 minutes had elapsed in the first period. It was Cuylle’s second goal in three games. Since being moved down by head coach Mike Sullivan to play on the third line with Laba and Brennan Othmann, Cuylle’s play has improved. In fact, that line created good chances throughout the game due to their aggressive forecheck.

After narrowly missing setting up a goal, Pastrnak found Elias Lindholm in front for the first of two from the center to even things up. But on the following shift, the Rangers had an immediate response when Gabe Perreault took a Mika Zibanejad drop pass and set up J.T. Miller for his 14th just 26 seconds later. Miller has nine points over his last six games.

In the second period, Miller turned the puck over when his pass up the middle was intercepted by Charlie McAvoy, who combined with Pastrnak to feed Lindholm for his second of the game to tie the score.

Following a Henri Jokiharju penalty, McAvoy was called for holding Vincent Trocheck to put the Rangers on a five-on-three for 37 seconds. However, they wasted the opportunity with only four shots reaching Joonas Korpisalo, who made a glove save on Artemi Panarin.

Shortly after the McAvoy penalty expired to put the teams back at full strength, Pastrnak once again made a great pass that led to Geekie putting the Bruins ahead. His third assist of the game gave him 900 career points, becoming the third Czech born player to accomplish the feat – joining Jaromir Jagr and Patrik Elias.

Both teams killed off penalties to keep the score in favor of the Bruins, who took a one-goal lead to the locker room.

After failing to capitalize on a McAvoy interference minor drawn by Perreault, it looked like the Rangers would fall short again on a centennial anniversary theme night. However, they had better intentions with Rangers legends Brian Leetch, Mark Messier, and Mike Richter watching along with many alumni that included Jeff Beukeboom, Adam Graves, Sergei Nemchinov, and even Radek Dvorak.

On a play Alexis Lafreniere started, Panarin got the puck up for Borgen, whose point shot took a favorable carom off of Geekie and past Korpisalo to tie the score with 6:17 left in regulation.

The game went to overtime. In what amounted to a tactical three-on-three due to the Bruins’ checking, even Panarin got involved by showing some hustle on the backcheck for a key takeaway.

On a Vincent Trocheck reset with the Bruins changing, Robertson took a Quick outlet and started a quick (no pun intended) rush up the ice. Coming in with good speed, he made a nice deke before firing home the winner short side on Korpisalo with 1:07 left.

That gave Quick career win number 408 to pass Glenn Hall for 12th on the all-time list.

It was a good win for the Rangers, who now will meet the Islanders twice on Wednesday and Thursday in a classic home and home series.
