- Rangers 4 Pittsburgh 0: When things aren’t going well, hockey coaches look to shake up their lines. That what Tom Renney did Tuesday, installing Gomez on the Jagr-Straka line and the results were very good. The top line looked like one, scoring twice at even strength and propelling New York to the victory.
But, it wasn’t just the top guys. Chris Drury had added two points and the defense held Pittsburgh to 18 shots. Henrik Lundqvist looked solid in net, coming up some big saves when he was finally tested in the third period.
- Sacramento 106 New Jersey 101: It’s tough to lose when you shoot 50% and out-rebound a team by almost 50%, but that’s what happened to the Nets Tuesday. Richard Jefferson had 36 in the losing effort while four Kings’ players had 20 or more.
- Vancouver 6 New Jersey 0: Martin Brodeur had a night to forget as the Devils' three-game road trip got off to a bad start
