Pirri would add his second of the game 2:23 into the third period to make it 4-2 and Jimmy Vesey would score his fourth of the season to put the game away for the Blueshirts.
"There's no panic in this locker room. It's a lot of fun," Pirri said. "We have a lot of belief in ourselves. We know we just have to focus on the next shift, work hard, and then usually good things are going to happen. So, we just bided our time, and then (we used) our work ethic and things started going our way."
The power play finished 2-for-6, and since the start of the 2014-15 season, the Rangers have posted a 36-2-3 record in games that they have outscored their opponents on special teams."
"Tonight, the power play comes up big for us," head coach Alain Vigneault said. "We're 2 for 4 in that in the second period, which gave us momentum. We carried it to the third. We were getting the puck back and we were a little tired there, but we got a couple goals and you're going to have success like that in a tough league where all the teams are so close. Every contribution matters."
Defenseman Dan Girardi momentarily left the game in the second period after being hit in the head by Pastrnak. He did return.
Forward Josh Jooris left the game after the first period with an upper-body injury. He did not return.
Both Chris Kreider (neck spasms) and Pavel Buchnevich (back spasms) did not play. Vigneault said Kreider is day-to-day, while Buchnevich could play Friday night..
The Rangers head to Carolina tomorrow to take on the Hurricanes Friday night at 7:30 pm.
