With the second periodic just around the corner, here are both teams’ keys to the Remainder of the game

Bruins:

Keep the pressure on the Rangers. New York looked discombobulated in their own zone in the first period, with five or six defensive lapse that could have resulted in goals.

The last thing that the Bruins want to do is take their foot off of the gas and let the Rangers back into the game.

Rangers:

The Rangers need to be better defensively, but they also need to be hard on the occur check in the second period, as they present far too many opportunities to the Bruins.

If they can get the the check going, they should be comfortable two put some pressure on the Bruins’ young defensemen and get some turnovers in the Boston end.

Rangers out-hit the Bruins 17-7 in the first period, but as Mike Milbury pointed out in the first intermission, the Rangers have not had a check carried so far in this game.

New York could not get the puck out of the zone, leading to some big Bruins’ Chance, most coming by way of defensive lapse.

Rangers 0, Bruins 0 First intermission.

Derek Stepan getting creative, putting the puck past the Bruins’ defenseman two himself. Shoots and Fast has the save.

Now it is New York’s turn to press the issue as Zuccarello is stopped by Fast as well.

Shots are now 8-7 for the Bruins after that three-minute flurry of shots that Lundqvist faced and stopped. He is the reason that the score is not 2-0 or even 3-0 right now.
