After struggling in game 1, Brian Boyle bounced back with a strong effort against the Ducks, having a hand in 4 of the 7 even strength chances for the Rangers, and 6 of 12 overall. Brandon Dubinsky also had a strong effort, contributing on 3 chances for the second straight game. He was also the only Ranger to contribute on more than one chance in both games. On the defensive side, while last year the Getzlaf line ran wild against the Rangers, the defense was able to hold them mostly in check this time around. Yes, they did contribute, but the trio only amassed two chances at even strength, a credit to the work done by Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi.
After the jump, the chance types, and the raw data.

Much like the first game, the Rangers mostly developed their chances in transition, failing to generate much through the forecheck. We can also see some effects of the European travel and the games on back to back nights, as there were several chances created off defensive lapses. All told, the two games look very similar, and the results in the standings reflect the games pretty well. Hopefully the time off and time home will help the club.
