Rangers Scoring Spree Continues In 8-2 Win

The New York Rangers defeated a tough Tampa Bay Lightning team 8-2 last night as they have scored 14 goals in their last two games.

This team is playing at its highest level right now and with their next few games being against some dominate teams it has come at the right time.

#17 Brandon Dubinsky has grown into a valuable player on the Rangers at the age of 23.

His numbers won't always jump out at you but when you are in need of a goal he seems to put himself in the right place at the right time.

In last night's victory Brandon put up a goal and an assist adding to his 5 points in the last two games to give him 28 in the 37 games he has played this year.

#10 Marian Gaborik always seems to be on the scoring sheets he contributed 4 assists in the game as he still remains among the league's best.

Since returning from his recent injury #20 Vinny Prospal has struggled but has picked in up in the last week.

Since the decision to put #34 Aaron Voros on the ice he has played hard crashing the net and getting physical with the opposition.

Aaron scored his first goal of the campaign last night but to his defense he hasn't really gotten much playing time.

He usually has to sit to the lights of #87 Donald Brashear most of the time I would trade him for a bag of peanuts right now.

A. Voros has collected a goal and an assist in his last 3 games, and has been getting it going with the fist.

He has done everything that was expected of D. Brashear but he has actually been carrying it out.

Rangers goalie #30 Henrik "The King" Lundqvist must be thrilled to finally be getting some help in his teams defensive zone.

Henrik stopped 21 out of 23 shots to give him the 164th win of his career give New York so much support in net.

His value to the team can never be compared to anyone he will always be the main reason that this team ever has a chance.

So many games that they go without putting up any offense and he keeps them in the standings with save after save.

Thursday night they will test their winning streak against the Philadelphia Flyers at 7:00 pm eastern time as they head to Philly.

Every time these two teams play they are entertaining even in the blow out games you will still see things getting physical on the ice.

The blueshirts next 3 games are really vital but right now they need to take it all in one day at a time, and focus on what they need to do for tomorrow night's game.
