The Rangers’ 60-minute effort in Thursday night’s season-opening 5-1 victory over the Sabres at KeyBank Center was highlighted by a dominant special teams game.
In addition to fending off three Sabres power plays to keep the home team at bay, the Blueshirts also scored one power-play goal in the first periodIt proved to be the first of two special teams goals for Kreider, who added a shorthanded tally in the third period off a feed from Mika Zibanejad.
Block after block, the Rangers clogged the shooting lanes and kept the puck out of the dangerous areas. Zibanejad’s individual effort got the puck down the ice before the Swede was able to dish to a streaking Kreider for the 4-1 lead.
