Nash slips late game-winner by the Stars

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 11 Januari 2014 | 10.46

Rick Nash snapped a tie with 1:58 left, and the Rangers won for the fifth time in seven games with a 3-2 victory on Friday night.

Nash poked a rebound of Chris Kreider's shot past Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen to give the Rangers their first lead of the game.

Ryan Callahan and Derick Brassard both erased one-goal deficits, Brad Richards had two assists, and Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for the Rangers, who improved to 7-2-1 in their past 10 games.

Ryan Garbutt and Cody Eakin both had a goal and assist, but the Stars remained winless in 2014 (0-5-0). Lehtonen stopped 31 shots for Dallas, which went 0-3 on its three-game trip through the New York metropolitan area.

After being shut out for the first time this season in a 1-0 loss at New Jersey on Thursday, the Stars got their offense untracked early — grabbing the lead 4:06 in on Eakin's ninth goal.

Garbutt outraced Rangers defenseman Marc Staal to a loose puck deep in the New York end and sent a pass back to Eakin in the right circle. Eakin let go a shot that Lundqvist blocked with his arm, but couldn't control as it rolled and found its way into the net.

Dallas had the lead despite being outshot 8-3 at the time in the sluggish first period that featured multiple icing calls and frequent faceoffs.

The Rangers tied it with 8:40 left in the period on Callahan's eighth of the season and first in five games since the Rangers captain returned from a nine-game absence caused by a sprained knee ligament. Benoit Pouliot kept the puck in the Dallas zone at the right point and got it to Richards, who took a shot on Lehtonen. Richards got to his rebound and moved the puck to his right to the streaking Callahan, who snapped in a shot as he was flying to the ice.

Dallas regained the lead 3:34 into the second period on Garbutt's eighth goal. Antoine Roussel sent a pass that Garbutt knocked down with the shaft of his stick. He then jammed the puck between Lundqvist's pads.

Nevertheless, the Rangers got even again at 2-2 just 4:48 later when Brassard scored a power-play goal on the game's first advantage for either team. Mats Zuccarello sent a hard pass from above the right circle into the slot where Brassard deflected it past Lehtonen for his seventh of the season and fifth on the power play.
