• Buffalo 2 Rangers 1 (Shootout): You almost wonder if the Rangers should have Henrik Lundqvist in net every shootout. To be fair, that sells Stephen Valiquette short. Valiquette was wonderful in net stopping 33 shots, but Ryan Miller was better. Miller stopped 44 shots and sent the game to a shootout. And that’s where the Sabres scored and the Rangers didn’t, sending New York to their first shootout loss this season.
• Milwaukee 104 Nets 102: Bobby Simmons had a huge three-pointer to tie the game with time running out, but the Bucks weren’t done. Luke Ridnour scored as time ran out to give Milwaukee the win. Vince Carter had 23 points and 14 assists in the loss.

But with the death of guard Stephon Marbury's father, it doesn't seem so bad. Marbury played for the first half and scored two points but didn't come back out for the second half. Jamal Crawford had his second straight excellent game, but the Knicks frontcourt couldn't contain Samuel Delambert. The two... more ›

The New York Rangers have hit a speed bump, coming out flat in two-straight games, getting some bad goaltending and losing badly at home. Thursday night’s 6-2 loss was even more disappointing than Tuesday’s because the Rangers rallied in this game and then fell apart. Down 2-0 in the first the Rangers came back with two goals off of the power play to even things up heading into the second. But, Toronto took the... more ›

That’s all that Henrik Lundqvist needed as he recorded his 3rd shutout of the season by making 31 saves.

They are going to try and get the offense going before that, but with back-to-back game coming up Monday and Tuesday, time is running out. more ›
