The Rangers shut out the Predators to push themselves back to the edge of the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Artemi Panarin, J.T. Miller and K’Andre Miller and Brett Berard scored goals and goaltender Jonathan Quick, playing in his 800th game, made 34 saves (to earn his third shutout of the season and 63rd of his career) as the Rangers (30-26-4, 64 points) pulled within two points of the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

J.T. Miller has been a bolt of lightning for the Rangers. An electrification of this team was necessary, and Miller has proven capable of jolting the Blueshirts just by playing his game at the level that he has on a nightly basis since beginning his second stint on Broadway 10 games ago.
