On the Ice: A Back-and-Forth Battle

Will Cuylle initiated scoring for the Rangers by deflecting a shot from Urho Vaakanainen. Elias Lindholm then scored for the Bruins, followed by J.T. Miller restoring the Rangers' lead shortly after.

The Bruins subsequently took a 3-2 lead with goals from Lindholm and Morgan Geekie. The Rangers had a 5-on-3 power play opportunity earlier but did not convert.

Defenseman Will Borgen scored his third goal of the season to equalize for the Rangers, leading to Robertson's overtime winner.

Roster Moves Ahead of Puck Drop

Hours before the game, defenseman Carson Soucy was removed from the lineup as his trade to the New York Islanders for a third-round draft pick was finalized. Connor Mackey was called up from AHL Hartford, and Urho Vaakanainen took Soucy’s position in the lineup.

Post-Game Reflections

Head coach Mike Sullivan expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, stating:

"I’m really happy for the players. I think to get a win at home in that fashion, I think, is a huge boost to the group."

J.T. Miller commented on the ongoing trade deadline period, noting:

"It is what it is at this point. We have a close group in here."
