Antti Raanta got his first career postseason shutout and he thoroughly deserved it.

Carolina did a great job of taking away the Rangers’ best weapons and forcing this into a depth match.

Raanta did what he had to when he was called upon and the Canes did a great job of trying to shelter their netminder.

As for the rest of this game, I think we obviously have to talk about the man of the hour that was Brendan Smith.

Taking two penalties in the first six minutes that both took a Ranger off with him was an interesting start to the game.

Then he decided to jump up on a rush in the second short-handed because of course he did and he got a goal.

This became a very interesting matchup between the strong defensive system of the Rangers.
