NEW YORK RANGERS POST GAME REPORT

Nash Leads Rangers Past Canes 3-2

In what looked to be "another one of those games" for the Rangers Rick Nash pulled a rabbit out of his hat and scored the game tying goal early in the 3rd period on an end to end rush backhand shot.

Trailing at the end of the first period 2-0 on gaols by former Ranger Viktor Stalberg, it looked as though the Rangers hopes of breaking it's 3 game losing streak and 4 home game skid were in trouble. But Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist shut the door and didn't allow any more pucks to pass. Along with Nash's Game tying goal Nick Holden picked up his 3rd of the season to start the Rangers scoring in the second period.

Following Nash, Jimmy Vesey picked up a power play goal and his 8th of the season to put away Carolina for good and seal the win 3-2 ending November on a high note.

The Rangers return to action on Thursday visiting the Buffalo Sabres 7:00 PM.
