In what the Rangers wanted to be a triumphant return for number one starter Henrik Lundqvist after 3 weeks on the shelf with a hip injury turned into disappointment.
Allowing 5 goals on 33 shots Lundqvist did not look sharp at all, sometimes looking slow and lethargic.
Although Henrik made some beautiful saves during the game he did not get much help from his defense either. Many rebounds were left in front along with some missed assignments by the Rangers Defense.
The three Rangers goals were scored by Rick Nash, his 4th in four games, Derek Stepan, his 2nd in two games and a Birthday Goal for rookie Brady Skjei.
Mats Zuccarello picked up his team leading 40th assist and with his 24th assist of the season Chris Kreider hit the 50 point mark for the first time in his career.
The Rangers are off until Tuesday when the wrap up the three game California Road Trip in San Jose taking on the Sharks.
