Artemi Panarin’s game-winning goal against the New York Islanders left the New York Rangers‘ seventh win in a row up for debate during the 2024 Stadium Series game at MetLife Stadium.
A miraculous New York Rangers comeback during their Stadium Series game against the New York Islanders ended with an Artemi Panarin goal just as the overtime puck drop came at MetLife Stadium.
But Panarin’s goal will likely be talked about throughout the week after it ended with some controversy.
As the official dropped the puck for overtime, which was needed after the Rangers scored two goals to the Islanders’ one in the third period to tie it at 5 apiece, Panarin stopped a saucer pass from Isles defenseman Noah Dobson and had a perfect chance to end it with a clear look at the net.
Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin tried coming out of his crease to stop Panarin, and though he got his leather on the puck once, it went back to Panarin who had a clear look at the twine.
