Lundqvist gives Rangers young guns platform to batter Isles
NEW YORK — So often, New York Rangers' winning streaks have been fueled by the stonewall goaltending of Henrik Lundqvist.He is still a big part of the equation, but suddenly he has an ever-improving, young supporting cast that is making this group of Rangers a legitimate threat in the NHL.Rookie forward Carl Hagelin scored twice for his second career multigoal game, and Lundqvist stopped all 28 shots he faced as the Rangers beat the New York Islanders 3-0 on Monday night for their fifth straight victory.The names of high-priced forwards Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards are quite familiar, and they have both played a key role in the Rangers' surge to the top of the standings. But suddenly, youngsters such as Hagelin and defenseman Stu Bickel have contributed to New York's recent success.Despite injuries to defensemen Marc Staal and Michael Sauer, the Rangers haven't missed a beat."There is great depth in this organization," said Hagelin, who also scored twice against Buffalo on Dec. 10. "There's a lot of guys out and it shows that the organization is doing a great job preparing guys for this. It's fun."Hagelin, in just his 16th NHL game, scored in the second and third periods for the Rangers (22-8-4) — the Atlantic Division leaders, who leapfrogged defending Stanley Cup champion Boston into first place in the Eastern Conference.The Rangers finished a 3-0 homestand that included a pair of victories over the Islanders in a five-day span. New York's past four victories have been against division rivals. The Rangers begin a three-game trip at Washington on Wednesday that will conclude with the outdoor Winter Classic in Philadelphia next Monday.Lundqvist improved to 23-11-5 against the Islanders with four shutouts. He has three shutouts overall this season and 38 in seven NHL seasons."I don't have too many this year, but hopefully I can change that," he said.Blackhawks 4, Blue Jackets 1In Chicago, Viktor Stalberg scored two goals and Corey Crawford made 37 saves.Avalanche 4, Wild 2In St. Paul, Minnesota, Jan Hejda scored the go-ahead goal at 10:20 of the third period and Colorado snapped a nine-game road losing skid.Canucks 5, Oilers 3In Vancouver, Andrew Ebbett scored twice to lead the Canucks over Edmonton.Sabres 4, Capitals 2In Buffalo, Brayden McNabb capped the Sabres' four-goal first period with his first NHL goal.Hurricanes 4, Devils 2In Raleigh, North Carolina, Cam Ward made 23 saves and was credited with a bizarre empty-net goal to lead the hosts.Kings 4, Coyotes 3In Los Angeles, Willie Mitchell scored the tiebreaking goal early in the third period, and the Kings broke an offensive slump for their second victory under new coach Darryl Sutter.Blues 5, Stars 3In St. Louis, Adam Cracknell, recalled from the minors earlier in the day, put the Blues ahead for good in the second period.Ducks 3, Sharks 2In San Jose, Andrew Cogliano scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the second period and Jonas Hiller made 36 saves as Anaheim ended a 13-game winless skid on the road.Red Wings 4, Predators 1In Nashville, Valtteri Filppula scored a pair of goals to lead Detroit over the Predators.Pavel Datsyuk and Danny Cleary also scored for the Red Wings, who scored twice in a span of 13 seconds during the second period and stopped a two-game skid.

Tomas Vincour, Jake Dowell and Tom Wandell added their first goals of the season.Penguins 2, Hurricanes 2In Raleigh, North Caroina, Arron Asham and Pascal Dupuis scored 1:27 apart in the third period, and Pittsburgh made a late defensive stand to beat slumping Carolina.Craig Adams had a goal and an assist, and Sidney Crosby added an assist for the Penguins. They've won five of seven games since Crosby's return, and he has two goals and 10 assists in that span.Capitals 3, Senators 2 (OT)In Washington, Brooks Laich scored 12 seconds into overtime to lift the Capitals past Ottawa and give new coach Dale Hunter his first NHL victory.Hunter was coaching his third game since replacing Bruce Boudreau on Monday.Flyers 4, Coyotes 2In Glendale, Arizona, Claude Giroux scored his 15th goal of the season to move into a tie for the NHL scoring lead with 32 points and Philadelphia dominated Phoenix early.Rookie Matt Read had a goal and two assists as the Flyers took a 4-0 lead after one period.Bruins 4, Maple Leafs 1In Boston, Tuukka Rask stopped 21 shots and the Bruins beat Toronto to start December the same way the Boston finished November.The Bruins beat Toronto for the fourth straight time this season and the second straight game. Nathan Horton and David Krejci each had a goal and an assist for the Bruins, who have outscored their closest pursuer in the Northeast Division 23-6 this season.Canadiens 2, Kings 1In Los Angeles, Carey Price made 26 saves, Tomas Plekanec and Andrei Kostitsyn scored, and Montreal beat the short-handed Kings to end a four-game losing streak.Blackhawks 5, Blues 2In St. Louis, Marian Hossa scored twice and Chicago solved streaking Blues goalie Brian Elliott.Jets 4, Devils 2In Winnipeg, Evander Kane scored twice in the Jets' victory over New Jersey.Kane had Winnepeg's first goal and added an empty-netter with 32 seconds left, his 14th goal of the season. Alexander Burmistrov and Mark Stuart also scored, and Bryan Little had two assists.Rangers 4, Lightning 2In Tampa, Derek Stepan had a tiebreaking goal and added an assist, helping New York extend its winning streak to five with a victory over the Lightning.Sabres 3, Predators 2In Nashville, Luke Adam had a goal and an assist to lead Buffalo past the PredatorsZack Kassian and Tyler Ennis also scored for the Sabres.Craig Smith and David Legwand both scored for Nashville.Panthers 5, Sharks 3In San Jose, Tomas Fleischmann scored the tiebreaking goal and Jack Skille added a short-handed score in a three-goal second period that carried Florida to a victory over the Sharks.Flames 5, Oilers 3In Edmonton, Derek Smith tied it early in the third period and helped set up Mikael Backlund's power-play winner with 9:35 left in Calgary's victory over the Oilers.Flames right wing Jarome Iginla assisted on both goals to finish the game with three assists.
