The Rangers were really good on Wednesday night and looked like a significantly better team than the one that barely snuck by Pittsburgh in the First Round. They defended well, they were the better team for most of the night, and they were three minutes away from stealing Game 1 against the Hurricanes. And then some sloppy play resulted in a Sebastian Aho goal to send the game to overtime where Ian Cole would score the game-winner for Carolina. The Rangers showed they can compete with Carolina, but they are going to need to repeat that effort the rest of this series. And then be able to finish it out.
