3 Rangers Score 4 Points in Playoff Game, Setting Franchise Record

New York Rangers forwards Derick Brassard, Rick Nash and J.T. Miller each scored four or more points in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final, marking the first time in franchise history that three players have scored four-plus points in a single playoff game, per Elias Sports Bureau (via the team's official Twitter account).

Facing elimination in Tampa Bay, the Rangers grabbed a 2-1 lead in the first period behind goals from Brassard and defenseman Keith Yandle.

Following a scoreless second period, the floodgates opened three minutes and two seconds into the third period, when Miller scored his first goal of the game.

The Rangers added three more goals over the next seven minutes and 19 seconds, with the Lightning also sneaking one in during that time.

Tampa Bay added another late goal to close the lead to 6-3 with just over six-and-a-half minutes remaining, but Brassard closed things out with an empty-netter in the final two minutes.

When all was said and done, Brassard had three goals and two assists, with Nash and Miller contributing a goal and three assists apiece.

Yandle was the only other Ranger to record multiple points, finishing with a goal and an assist.

The two teams will now head back to Madison Square Garden for Friday's Game 7 as the Rangers look to hit the five-goal mark for the fourth time in the high-scoring series.
