Artemi Panarin scored the goal that ended the New York Rangers comeback against the New York Islanders in the Stadium Series. After the Rangers scored two goals in the third period to tie it at 5 apiece, the official dropped the puck for overtime and Panarin had a chance to end it with a clear look. Dobson tried sliding in front of the net with Sorokin off-balance, but he knocked the right post out of the ice.
The Rangers fans in the stadium started to cheer after the goal, but the referees decided that it was a good goal. The Rangers honor NYPD with JERSEYS while they are in firetrucks.
When the net comes off its bearings, play is stopped and the net is put back in place. The goal is a good one, according to the NHL rule. The net was knocked off by the defensive team, it doesn't matter if it's accidental or intentional. Panarin assisted on two of the three goals, including the one that gave the Russian star three points for the game. The Blueshirts won their seventh game in a row and now have a 36-16-3 record on the season. The Islanders are not going to be happy if they lose the lead they had early in the second period after scoring three times in the first.
