Rangers beat Capitals
- Share via
With the score tied in the third period, the New York Rangers did what they do best -- kill off a power play. Then Markus Naslund popped out of the penalty box and set up the winning goal.
Naslund fed Brandon Dubinsky, who made a move that left defenseman Jeff Schultz sprawled on the ice.
Dubinsky then beat goaltender Jose Theodore inside the near post with 8:17 remaining, lifting the Rangers to a 4-3 victory over Alex Ovechkin and the host Washington Capitals in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference series.
Pittsburgh 4, Philadelphia 1 -- Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin each had a goal and an assist, and the Penguins shut down the Flyers at Pittsburgh.
New Jersey 4, Carolina 1 -- Martin Brodeur made 18 saves, and Zach Parise and Jamie Langenbrunner each had a goal and an assist for the Devils at Newark, N.J.
Vancouver 2, St. Louis 1 -- Daniel Sedin had a goal and an assist, and Roberto Luongo made 25 saves for the Canucks at Vancouver, Canada.
