If you need evidence that a second assist can be the greatest part of a goal every now and then, New York Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh’s beautiful move from Sunday might just be Exhibit A:
(You’d almost think that Florida Panthers goalie Tim Thomas would be at risk of suffering another lower-body injury merely trying to defend that.)
J.T. Miller scored the goal and made a nice play of his own to really get things started while Chris Kreider got the primary helper with a brilliant pass of his own.
