Henrik seems to have great timing when it comes to getting his game together.

You cannot harp on the last three loses because two of them came against the defending Champions.

All you can do is what they did tonight respond with a great game.

#21 Christopher Higgins hard work finally paid off when he snuck his 3rd goal of the year past the Sabres goalie #30 Ryan Miller.

#18 Marc Staal came through with another terrific performance, there was something about the look in his eye tonight that showed a different player.

The way he was attacking the opposing players in his defensive zone was quite a display to view as he has stepped in up in recent games.

Marc's really starting to build up his endurance at the young age of 22 he had the most time on the ice for the Rangers with over 25 minutes of playtime.

The play up and down from the struggling blueshirts was impressive they played very well in their own zone.

The captain #23 Chris Drury looks to be showing more of his old self he has brought his game to each and every shift since missing 9 games with an injury from a dirty hit from Flames #20 Curtis Glencross.

Skating against his former team tonight the veteran looked to be feeling good on the ice creating a lot of scoring chances.

#16 Sean Avery has lived up to his reputation as the agitator as the NHL referees still refuse to show him any respect as a professional.

Sean was tripped up on a play in the 3rd period and there was complete silence.

Don't expect longtime Rangers broadcaster Sam Rosen to stick up for the organization that has paid him for this many years.

All Sam is thinking about is when he is going to get his next gig.

Lets get him out and put someone in there that will focus on the game tell it like it is because I am sick of hearing this guy's corny jokes.

Back to S. Avery he has been brilliant as of late in almost 17 minutes of ice time tonight he managed to put on 5 shots on goal.

One of them led to a rebound from #24 Ryan Callahan who banked in his 5th goal of the 2009-10 campaign as Sean Avery would get the assist.

It put New York ahead by the score of 2-0 but would prove to be the factor in the game after the Buffalo Sabres pulled within one with #29 Jason Pominville's 7th goal of the season with a minute left.

It was a great game but another challenge stands ahead in tomorrow night's game when the Rangers return to the garden to take on the great Detroit Red Wings.

The Red Wings won the cup 2 years ago and lost in the best of seven during the Stanley Cup finals last season this is a dangerous unit to be feared on any day or night.

The game will start at 7:00 pm eastern time it will be another test against a dominate team, and could be a big step into climbing back as a top team in the Eastern Conference.
