Highlights and lowlights from the Rangers’ 3-2 overtime loss to the Panthers on Tuesday night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final:
1. Sam Reinhart
Reinhart’s goal in overtime sent the series back to New York tied at two after a classic set of games in Florida.
2. Igor Shesterkin
The Rangers got what might have been their netminder’s best performance of the series as Shesterkin stopped a slew of high-danger chances in the second half of this game to keep his team in it.
3. Sam Bennett
The Panthers’ chief instigator had his fingerprints all over this one, scoring the tying goal in the second period and playing up the ice all night.
