The Ottawa Senators may have lost 4-1 in Game 3, but that doesn't change the fact that Bobby Ryan and Jean-Gabriel Pageau combined for a beautiful goal.
The duo were rewarded for their hard forecheck Tuesday night when Ryan fed Pageau a dirty behind-the-back pass from behind the New York Rangers' cage.
Pageau finished off the play by putting his sixth of the playoffs past Henrik Lundqvist.
It was the only goal the Sens could muster on the night, as the Rangers took the game and edged closer to squaring up the series.
Ottawa still holds a 2-1 advantage, with Game 4 going Thursday night in New York.
