The New York Rangers celebrated a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning today in the season opener in the Czech Republic. Just as Daniel Alfredsson failed to be victorious in Sweden during the Senators’ first official game of the season, Marcus Naslund also fell in his home country.
Bolts netminder, Mike Smith, turned away 39 shots on goal which makes it almost criminal that they lost that game, especially considering the fact that Henrik Lundqvist was barely tested (he made 20 saves).
The teams will play against each other again tomorrow.
