New York was feeding off excellent net minding by Henrik Lundqvist who picked up his 23rd victory of the season.

Henrik made some outstanding saves he always plays his best against New Jersey, he also has a talent for being a guy who can put a bad game behind him and give the team a lift.


Devils goalie #30 Martin Brodeur had a tough night allowing 3 goals in less than two minutes during the 2nd period.

Over the past few seasons it seems that the Rangers have M. Brodeur's number epsecially when they have Henrik Lundqvist in net.

#10 Marian Gaborik the name that seems to always be all over the score sheet scored his 35th goal in his first season as a New York Ranger on the power play that his 5 for 9 in the last two games.

Marian got the offense going whenever you need that spark he finds a way to hit the open slot and reach the back of the net.

He has been a leader possibly one of the best free agent signings in history, I know they have one of the better goalies in the league but you can't ignore the fact that M. Gaborik has 69 points in 57 games with 13 power play goals.

The reason his impact on the power play is so crucial is because of New York's inability over the years to find players who can give that extra jolt.

The power play unit must be your best line of players out there piling up shots on net and since the arrival of #12 Olli Jokinen they now have completed their search for the chemistry that they lacked for a long time.

If you want to talk about dedication you can look at #24 Ryan Callahan his hard work has paid off.

Ryan picked up his 15h goal of the season to give New York a 2-0 lead.

He now has 32 points in 59 games, at the age of 24 Ryan is continuing to improve his game putting a lot of trust in him from the coaching staff along with the Ranger fans.

Rangers captain #23 Chris Drury was quick to celebrate with #97 Matt Gilroy after scoring his 9th goal in 54 games that led New York to a 3-0 lead one that would hold to a 3-1 victory.

Although its good to see your captain score its a shame that your captain has to be Chris Drury.

He has struggled since putting on a Rangers jersey you have to wonder what happened to the champion we heard so much about.

This is one of the higher paid players on the team on pace for 13 goals by the end of the season by looking at http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/players/profile?playerId=231.

C. Drury has to get it together to keep the momentum going after a huge win because he has not done so, and quite frankly people have to be losing their patience.

The good note after the win over the New Jersey Devils is you beat the 1st place team in your division which could be such a boost to the teams confidence as a group.

New York will have to continue scoring as they roll into Wednesday night against the Nashville Predators at 7:00 pm eastern time when they will look to build off the cheers from their fans in Madison Square Garden.

It will be a tough road from here on you have to focus on each game at a time but as a fan you can't help but look ahead their upcoming game after Wednesday when they travel to Pittsburgh to battle the defending Stanley Cup Champions on Friday at 7:30 pm eastern time.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are always one of the more feared teams in the league every game the opposing team has to keep eyes at all times on #87 Sidney Crosby and #71 Evgeni Malkin.

Stick around because New York is one of those teams that could go either way and if they can ride the wave of a win over a top team then it will be exciting to see how they will end their season.
