The Rangers had two weeks off between their most recent game on Feb. 1 and Tuesday's game against the Bruins, and it showed. The Rangers were held shotless for more than half of the first period, mustered a single goal in regulation and then needed to win a wild nine-round shootout to come away with two points. Once again, the two points earned were a product of the play of Igor Shesterkin, the way it has been all season.

Michael Hurley of CBS Boston joined me to talk about the Rangers' 2-1 shootout win, the Bruins' roster build, the recent midseason retirement of Tuukka Rask, the unnecessary suspension for Brad Marchand and the absence of Patrice Bergeron.
