After a loss to the Flyers in Saturday’s game, the New York Rangers face defeat once more against the Boston Bruins, 6-3.

Iginla redirected a pass from Krejci past Lundqvist, making it an early tied game at 18:07. Although the Rangers outshot the Bruins 20-9, as reported in The NY Daily News. This was not any indication of the Bruins laying off.
The second period brought more Rangers defeat, although Henrik tried using his head to the best of his ability. At 3:15 “the king” displayed unusual talent and heat butted a shot out of play. Less than a minute later, Dougie Hamilton gave the Bruins their second goal of the game.

Brad Richards brought the Rangers some good luck after scoring off of a 2-on-1 rush, making it 3-2. With the assistance of “Captain Cally” and Stralman, Richards scored his 16th goal of the season.
