Rangers' Roslovic Finally Finding Stride in Playoffs

Rangers' Roslovic Finally Finding Stride in Playoffs

New York Rangers right wing Jack Roslovic circled around the back of the Carolina Hurricanes' net early in Game 1 of the teams' second-round playoff series, shielding the puck from defenders as he began looking toward the goal mouth. As he reached the other side of the cage, he locked on linemate Mike Zibanejad, who was unmarked and streaking to the front. Roslovic delivered a perfect pass onto Zibanejad's tape, and the star center banged home the first goal of the series just 2:46 in, sending the Madison Square Garden crowd into a frenzy. For the Rangers, it wasn't just Roslovic's perfect setup that led to the opening goal of a 4-3 win that was so encouraging.
