Highlights from the Rangers’ 5-3 Game 6 win over the Hurricanes on Thursday night to advance to the Eastern Conference Final.

Who else but Kreider, whose third-period natural hat trick gave the Rangers the lead after Carolina had jumped ahead 3-1 over the first 40 minutes? 

Anyone on the second line could go here after an excellent night from the trio, but Trocheck gets the nod for his second-period goal. 

It didn’t make the difference in the end, but Martinook’s Superman dive to stop a sure Ryan Lindgren goal in the second period was the best individual play of the series and deserved some recognition. 

9: Consecutive scoreless Ranger power plays before Kreider’s tip-in ended the streak.

“Before the third period started, [Chris Kreider] said, ‘I know I’m gonna get one here.’ Then he goes out and gets three.”
