Gerard Gallant met with the media following the Rangers win over Columbus and said (NYR, MSG):
- On the start, “real good start. We had some bad ones before that, the last few games, so it’s good to get off to that good start, but, again, that first period I thought was sort of an East/West game. Shesty had to make 7-8 great saves, honestly, and it could have been a 5-4 period very easily. We got out to the great start and then I think we settled down in the second and third and played a better overall game, but the first period was sort of a shootout.”
