from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

So the Rangers could high-step out of the Garden on Sunday night after finding yet another way to win in a season chock full of rather confounding victories. This time it was Ryan Lindgren — well of course it was — with the last second buzzer-beater with .07 remaining on the clock to lift the Blueshirts to a chaotic 5-4 triumph over the Sabres.

But even in elevating the record to a fancy 11-4-3, the Rangers have a serious issue that probably needs to be addressed in one form or another before too long.

Because though the Blueshirts persevered in this one while getting goals from Chris Kreider (yep, another one), Kaapo Kakko (yep, another one), Jacob Trouba, K’Andre Miller and Lindgren, this also represented yet another game in which Alex Georgiev provided subpar netminding until he was replaced by Igor Shesterkin after allowing four goals on 18 shots through two periods.

“Coach’s decision,” Gerard Gallant, who is the coach, said when asked why he made the switch in nets.

That call was obvious. Georgiev was fighting the puck and the moment just as he has been pretty much from the start not only of this season, but last year. Much less obvious were the reasons behind Gallant’s decision to give No. 40 the start in the midst of a stretch in which this represented the club’s only game in five days.
