The Rangers showed well in this one at the Garden, pretty much having their way with the neighbors who’d given them nightmares for years.

This time it came from Igor Shesterkin as he helped lead the team to a 4-0 win over the New York Islanders. The hero of the first period had to go be Will Cuylle. He scored the game’s first goal off of his head while taking a hit that led to Will Borgen’s shorthanded goals and gave the Rangers a commanding 2-0 lead.

One New York reporter shared a bittersweet prediction, that's mostly bitter, on the Islanders' heat and soul ahead of the NHL trade deadline and in the aftermath of a 4-0 loss to the Rangers.
