Goalie Henrik Lundqvist held the Bruins scoreless with 29 saves as Marian Gaborik scored the only goal in the second period for New York to win yesterday at Madison Square Garden. Tim Thomas came up with 22 saves, but the one he missed was all it took for the 9-5 Rangers to skate away with a victory in the books.

“Lundqvist was solid, but their team D was pretty good. Both teams’ D was good,” said Thomas. “Can you think of an odd-man rush for either team? You’d like to win them all, but we’re headed in the right direction. Even if every game we’re not getting the results.”

Both teams failed to score on power play opportunities (Bruins 0-for-5/Rangers 0-for-2). Boston put six more shots on goal but never found a gap through Lundqvist. They are now 6-6 heading into Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings. Find the best deals for Boston Bruins tickets right here at AceTicket.com!

The Rangers got great production out of their new free agent star, Marian Gaborik in last night’s 5-2 win over the Coyotes.  Gaborik scored two goals and added an assist but left the game with an undisclosed injury prompting fears that the injury prone forward will miss time again this year. The Rangers jumped out early in this one, grabbing a two goal lead by the end of the first period. New York got goals from Anisimov and Gaborik in the first.  The Rangers didn’t let up in the second with goals from Prospal and Gaborik once again. Both Gaborik’s goals came on power plays.

The win snapped a three game losing streak by the Rangers who improved to 8-3-1 on the year.  New York will play two on the road against the Islanders and Wild before returning to Madison Square Garden on 11/1 to host the Boston Bruins.  You can get New York Rangers tickets for this and all games at MSG.  

Marian Gaborik scored for insurance 4:22 into the third period as the New York Rangers went on to defeat the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 last night at the MSG. Gaborik’s sixth goal of the season left the game out of reach for LA, giving the Rangers their sixth consecutive victory. 

“You just find a way to win when you’re not on - and we were not on,” Rangers coach John Tortorella said. “We were behind in every facet of the game but we still found a way to win. That’s a good sign.” Vaclav Prospal came up big for New York scoring two power play goals in the first period. Henrik Lundqvist contained the Kings all night with 34 saves. New York is scheduled to play the Toronto Maple Leafs this Saturday at 7:00 PM.

The New York Rangers were up on the Toronto Maple Leafs by just one goal heading into the third. After Sean Avery’s goal two minutes into the period, the festivities continued for the Rangers as they eventually went on to win 7-2 last night in New York. “We had a great start to the second period, but then it was like we stopped playing,” said Rangers forward Vaclav Prospal. “After two periods Torts came in and he wasn’t really happy. We responded the right way, took the play back to them, scored the fourth goal right away. It was a lot easier after that.”

Throughout the Rangers offensive party yesterday, eight players were able to earn at least one point.  Defenseman Dan Girardi and Sean Avery both scored twice with Wade Redden adding a goal and two assists. Ryan Callahan and Marian Gaborik also scored for New York. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist came up with 27 saves. The Rangers will next host the Los Angeles Kings before heading to Toronto to rematch the Maple Leafs.

Rangers RW Marian Gaborik was able to net two goals in the third period and lead New York past Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals 4-3 yesterday at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC.  The Rangers were down a goal until 8:09 into the 3rd when Gaborik tacked one on the board (assisted by Vaclav Prospal). Three minutes later it was Gaborik again, this time on a power play effort in favor of the Rangers.  “It’s why players like him are so special,” said New York’s Chris Drury of Gaborik. “They can change the game on one play - and on one shot.”

After last year’s post-season when the Capitals came back from a 3-1 deficit on New York to further advance, the Rangers showed up for revenge today and certainly proved themselves as major contenders for 2009-10.  The Atlantic Division is jam packed with talent between New York, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia.  The Rangers are now scheduled to play on Sunday against the Anaheim Ducks, a team that just handled the highly favored Boston Bruins 6-1.

New York Rangers defensemen Matt Gilroy scored the games final goal at the end of the second period as New York held on to win over the New Jersey Devils 3-2 yesterday in Newark, New Jersey.  The Devils for the first time since 2002 have lost their intitial two regular season contests.  The Rangers were down 2-1 early on but rallied back before both teams were eventually shut down throughout the entire third period. 

“We didn’t come out ready,” captain Chris Drury said. “It was pretty obvious at the start of the game and he let us know. From that point on I thought we responded very well. You’re not always going to get away with bad starts like that.”

The biggest game changer for the Rangers was their ability to score in power-play opportunities.  Before their matchup against the Devils, New York was 0-for-9 in all of their previous power-play attempts for the season.  The Rangers will next face off against the Washington Capitals while New Jersey heads to Tampa Bay to take on the Lightning.

The New York Rangers bounced back from their season opening loss in Pittsburgh with a big win at MSG last night, beating the Ottawa Senators 5-2.  The Rangers got two goals from Brandon Dubinsky and two more from his linemates, Vaclav Prospal and Marian Gaborik.  Henrik Lundqvist was sharp in goal for New York with 32 saves.

The Rangers will play their old rival the New Jersey Devils at NJ on Monday night. Rangers tickets still available for this and all Rangers games.

After six years away from the NHL, former veteran RW Theo Fleury is determined to make a comeback at the age of 41 years old. Fleury ran into trouble with the league after violating the NHL substance abuse policy during the 2002-2003 season.  Since then with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous and his family members, the seven time All-Star reached out for reinstatement.

Drafted 166th overall by the Calgary Flames in 1987, Fleury is currently in the process of signing back with the first team that gave him a look to begin with.  During his 15 previous seasons with the Flames, Colorado Avalanche, New York Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawks, he earned 455 goals with 633 assists.  If he doesn’t make the Flames line up, he will be expected to be a part of the Abbotsford Flames farm team.

Aside from his quest to re-join the NHL, Fleury more importantly is happy to be back on the right track.  “I think the biggest thing is that I’m healthy again,” he said. “I’ve lost a lot of weight and eating properly and sleeping well. It’s been all part of my personal growth more than anything else.”

Mark Messier is once again a part of the New York Rangers franchise.  This time “the Captain” will act as the assistant to the GM.  Many assume Messier is being groomed to replace current GM Glen Sather.  Glen Sather and Messier have had great history together dating back to their days in Edmonton, with Sather as Messier’s coach.  New York seems like a logical choice for Messier’s foray into the front office.  He enjoyed some of the best years of his career in New York and in the fans minds is probably the most popular Ranger of all time.  Messier famously led the Rangers to a Stanley Cup in 1994 after a long 54 year drought.

Messier will be joining a Rangers team that many consider to be on the upswing. With the right moves look for the Rangers at the top of Eastern Conference standings season.

New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundgvist came up with 38 saves to help the Rangers notch the win against the Washington Capitals last night at Madison Square Garden.  “He’s amazing, he’s our heartbeat, and he gives everyone confidence that is playing in front of him,” said defenseman Paul Mara, who took the initial lead for New York with a goal 13:55 into the first. “He’s awesome. We love him. He’s the king.”

Chris Drury scored early in the second period to give the Rangers a two goal advantage.  From there they were able to shut the Capitals  offense down, aside from Alex Ovechkin who scored 2:13 into the 3rd.   This marked his first goal of the series, despite leading the NHL with 56 goals this season.

The Rangers will try to close the series at 5 games with a win in Washington this Friday at 7:00 pm.  New York Rangers Playoff tickets are available here at Aceticket.com.
