The two longest-tenured Rangers passed it back and forth before Kreider buried it for the 3-3 score, giving the home team two shorthanded goals in the span of 42 seconds. It was the first time the Rangers scored two shorthanded goals while killing the same penalty since March 5, 2014.

The Rangers fell out of a wild-card spot while the Blue Jackets jumped up to the first wild card. Ottawa has 69 points.
