The New York Rangers (15-5-3) defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning (11-12-2) by the score of 4-2, tonight. For a boxscore and recap go to Yahoo! Sports.
…you know things are going well when the Rangers aren’t at their sharpest and they can still come away with a victory.
…i think the Rangers only got to three rebounds tonight and they all found the back of the net.
…i guess Stepan was “ready to rock” tonight.
…i thought Fedotenko struggled early this season, but since being put on a line with Richards and Callahan he’s looked like the guy who played so well last year. 3g, 1a in last five games.
…how appropriate is it that Richards iced the game with the empty netter?
…Anisimov playing the best hockey of his Rangers career.
…what a play by Callahan to force the turnover on Anisimov goal.
…first game neither Hagelin nor Mitchell had a point. Maybe Mitchell should toss that visor.
…just five minutes of ice time for Avery with no third period shifts. Seriously Torts?
…thought the defense was scrambling a lot tonight, but when you hold Stamkos, Lecavalier and St. Louis to just one assist how bad could they have really played.
…Rangers go for six in a row on Monday against Toronto.

QUOTES (via Blueshirts United)
Henrik Lundqvist…
“We have a bunch of guys here who are probably pretty happy winning this game, starting with the guy behind the bench and a couple of players that were down here and have some great memories. I’m happy for all of them. This was a real good road game. And the best part is how we responded in the third.”
Derek Stepan…
“I think the guys are buying into it — the style of play we want to play, play a hard simple game which allows us to make simple plays and create chances to score some goals like tonight.”
Artem Anisimov…
“Derek played with injury and played with (guts). He played a great game, scored game-winning goal. I am so happy for him.”
