  • Panthers 3, Rangers 2: For the first time in more than one month, the Rangers will not have did not collect any points. The Blueshirts had been 10-0-3 since Feb. 7, but that came to a halt in Sunrise, Fla. They move south to St. Petersburg to play the Lightning on Saturday.

  • The Islanders controlled the game for most of the first two periods and took a 1-0 lead off of a goal by Simon. But, the Rangers rallied and the newest Ranger, Paul Mara, scored off of the power play to tie the game at one.

  • Devils 3, Capitals 2: Yes, the Devils do have a backup goalkeeper. He even plays sometimes. His name? Scott Clemmensen. Martin Brodeur was in net for the first 38 Devils wins this season, but Clemmensen made 26 saves to pick up his first win this season Sunday. How good have the Devils been? They haven't lost consecutive games since December and are comfortably the second seed in the Eastern Conference.
  • Thursday it paid off again as the power play tallied three goals and the latest addition, Pascal Dupuis, scored a goal on a great hustle play.

  • Islanders 2 Flyers 0: Philadelphia showed again why they are going nowhere this season and Rick DiPietro had a solid night in the pipes. Kozlov and Satan scored the goals and the win keeps the Islanders in the hunt for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
  • Gerry McNamara won a national title in his freshman year at Syracuse and he wasn’t going to miss the tournament in his senior year. McNamara hit a game tying three-pointer with 10 seconds left to force overtime in Syracuse’s 86-84 upset over UConn in the Big East Tournament.

    In New York City, the only taste of March Madness we had was the Big East Tournament, which St. John's didn't even participate in due to self-imposed penalties (not related to curfew-breaking strip club visits).
