2. Gustav Forsling

The Panther defenseman, who has not gotten near enough attention, made his latest brilliant play by weaving through the Ranger defense and flipping a backhand past Igor Shesterkin in the middle of the second.

3. Igor Shesterkin

The Rangers’ netminder did everything he could in this one and was again victim to a Florida shooting gallery in the final period.
