After the Rangers fell into a 2-0 hole early in the game it looked like it would be another disappointing night for the team who donned a 4-9 record over the last thirteen. As talked about in my last article (”Rest don’t help the Rangers”) why don’t we ever get the breaks? Did we get breaks in this one? Or were they hard earned goals? I would have to say heard earned goals, wow. We actually worked hard for the puck and put pucks toward the opponents goal.

With Brian Leetch in the building the next Ranger goal looked like it was Brian on the ice. But it was Ranger rookie defensenmen Michael Del Zotto. Scoring on a Leetch type rush Del Zotto ripped one home for a 3-2 Ranger lead that made even Brian smile as the camera focused on him after the goal. 3-2 Ranger lead after one.
Positives to take out of this game? Yes a few. Once again Gaborik did his thing but more important Rangers finally got some secondary scoring. They got scoring from their two young defensemen Del Zotto and Gilroy and that’s great if the defense can contribute to a team that is struggling to score besides Marian. It’s their forwards that need to score, and Avery got two tonight as Artem Anisimov put home the other.
