The New York Rangers secured a significant 7-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, with Artemi Panarin leading the charge by contributing five points, including two goals and three assists. This win is part of a challenging stretch for the Rangers, marking their fourth victory in five games despite facing fatigue and injuries. Following this, the Rangers continued their success with a 5-2 win against the New York Islanders, overcoming a one-goal deficit with three second-period goals. Jonny Brodzinski scored the go-ahead goal, contributing to the Rangers' fifth win in six games. However, the victory was marred by an injury to Ryan Lindgren, who suffered a left leg injury and was unable to return to the game. The Rangers' recent performances have been crucial in their playoff push, demonstrating resilience and depth in their roster.

The #NYR got back to their defensive structure & kept the offense rolling in Sunday’s 5-2 win over the #Isles, with their youth making key contributions. “Our team is deep right now.” That’s 5 wins in a rapid 6-game stretch, but it’s taken a heavy toll 👇🏼https://t.co/5p172Anj5x
#Isles get help again on Sunday night with #LetsGoPens beating #LGRW 6-3 to remain one point back of the wild-card spot with a game in hand. But games in hand only matter if you win them. @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/4DVSjNoCpm

PIT beat DET 6-3 so #Isles remain one point back of the second wild-card spot with one game in hand.
So, the Capitals will close out their road trip tomorrow in Calgary with a chance to move ahead of the Red Wings into the second wild card in the East. Got help from the Rangers (5-2 win vs. Islanders) and the Penguins (6-3 win vs. Red Wings) today.
The Islanders lost their fourth straight (0-3-1) and are two-thirds of the way toward negating that season-high six-game winning streak that preceded this skid. There's less math inside this @AGrossNewsday column, we promise. https://t.co/RuqyOEXpmc

The New York Rangers defeated the New York Islanders 5-2 on Sunday. The Rangers scored three times in the second period to erase a one-goal deficit and take a 3-2 lead. Jonny Brodzinski scored the go-ahead goal.a https://t.co/ldB8J54rg9
For how this season has gone for #Isles, it’s quite crazy that they are just a point out of a wild-card spot. Obviously, they have to win some games here. DET plays PIT tonight and can make it 3 points with NYI having a game in hand. Crazy.

Rangers defeat Islanders 5-2, so Islanders remain one point behind Red Wings for the second wild card in the East. Red Wings visit Penguins later today. Isles and Capitals (also one point back of Red Wings), will put aside rivalries and be rooting for the Penguins in that one.
The #NYR dug deep again and played a much cleaner defensive game to beat the #Isles for their 5th win in this grueling stretch of 6 games in 9 days, but it also came with the cost of another injury. Takeaways here, with more to come 👇🏼 https://t.co/5p172Anj5x
5-2 Rangers. Playoff path for Isles decidedly looking tougher right now than 48 hours ago.

BREAKING: Ryan Lindgren leaves #NYR matinee vs. #Isles with gruesome-looking left leg injury. My evolving story @4EverBlueshirts ⤵️ https://t.co/KmmX4s4Ykt
That didn't look good for Ryan Lindgren, who grabbed his left knee/leg after he got tangled with Pageau. He's had a way of coming back when it looked not great before, so hopefully that's the case again.
Brodzinski to the net, gets a stick on Miller's slap from the left for a 3-2 #NYR lead at 15:01 of the second.
Brodzinski winds up and slaps it home for a 3-2 #NYR lead at 15:01 of the second. Sorokin got a piece.
Brodzinski puts #NYR back on top, tips a Miller shot home. 3-2 at 15:01. Brodzinski knocked down Aho getting to the net, had all the room in the world to deflect Miller's shot.
Jonny B gets a tip on a slap shot from K'Andre Miller to get #NYR the lead right back. 3-2 with 4:59 to play in the second.
#Isles desperate for 2 points today (every game really) after miserable OT loss yesterday, 0-2-1 since 6-game win streak. Crazy "race" for East wild card that no one seems capable of winning. How about if #ALLCAPS sneak in? One point out despite minus-30 goal differential?
The marathon continues, as I race from Pittsburgh to LGA to MSG in the next few hours. In the meantime, there’s a lot to go over from yesterday afternoon’s run-and-gun win over the Penguins, with all my #NYR takeaways here 👇🏼https://t.co/hmmvpxdPkB

Tremendous win for #Caps in Vancouver tonight. Well-deserved, hard-fought 2 points against a great team. 🏒 Oshie's 1000th career game. 🏒 Lindrgen was fantastic again. 🏒 Goals from Wilson, Ovechkin. 🏒 Selfless, buttoned-up hockey. 🏒 I love what Carbs has cooking. https://t.co/FWqkKFxjHX
Humungous 2-1 win for Capitals in Vancouver. They keep pace to stay 1 point back of the Red Wings for the second wild card in East. Also, move within 3 points of Flyers for third in the Metro.
