Rangers fell 2-1 in the third period away to Montreal when Mika Zibanejad turned the game around. The Swede put that well-placed shot down in the far corner of Montreal goalkeeper Carey Price and was able to celebrate his 30th goal this season.

He is thus defending the position as the best Swedish goalkeeper in the NHL right now. He is challenged by William Nylander, who entered his 29th goal of the season in the minutes when his Toronto won over Florida by 5-3 tonight. The Swedes are in places 12 and 17 respectively in the list of the league's best goalkeepers. Elias Lindholm is third best Swedish with 27 goals.

Three quick goals

Zibanejad's goals were followed by another three quick goals by Rangers, who scored a total of four goals in just over seven minutes in the third period. The victory means that the dream of playoffs is alive. The team is two points behind Columbus in the wild card number two fight in the Eastern Conference.

- We want to get to the playoffs, but at the same time we can't control what other teams do. We have to take matters into our own hands just as we do, says Zibanejad's teammate Ryan Strome according to nhl.com.

Nylander decided

Also, William Nylander was at the center when his Toronto turned a sub with 1-3 to away against Florida. In the middle of the third period, minor riot and confusion arose in front of goals in the fight for the puck, when it suddenly ended up in front of Nylander's skates and he was able to steer the lead goal 4–3.

- I think our defenders have played really well, but obviously it's good to be in the offensive zone as well. I think that's why we kept their best players away from our defensive zone, which helped us a lot, says William Nylander after the game according to nhl.com.

With 20 seconds left in the match, Justin Holl scored 5-2, which became the winning goal.
