Because of an odd scheduling quirk, the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday afternoon will meet at Madison Square Garden for the second time in five days.The Rangers rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Hurricanes 3-2 on Tuesday behind a goal and an assist from left winger Rick Nash. There was no momentum carried into New Yorks next game in Buffalo, as the Sabres won 4-3 to prevent the Rangers from winning consecutive games for the first time in more than two weeks.What has been the biggest problem for the Rangers over the first two months? Oddly, it hasnt been offense, as the team is averaging a league-best 3.64 goals-per game. Instead, its been goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, whose .914 save percentage would be his lowest since 2007-08.Lundqvist ranks 17th in save percentage, which is well below the standard he has set throughout his career. He lamented allowing a long goal to Buffalos Jack Eichel that led to the Rangers fifth loss in eight games.It just froze me, Lundqvist said to the New York Daily News. It looked like he was gonna pass it. Its a hard shot but you need to stop it. I need to challenge that more. I was expecting a pass. I was already thinking about what was gonna happen next and instead he goes for the shot, and thats what good players do.The Rangers havent done much to help their goaltenders over the past five games. Theyve been outshot in four of those games and by an overall margin of 162-119. Thats stark change from a team that had been dominating opponents to start the season, but center Derek Stepan says teams have adjusted to the New Yorks speed.I do know that we built an identity for ourselves and teams understand that they cant afford turnovers against us, so theyre getting it in and forcing us to come the full length, Stepan said to the New York Post. Theyre making us do what we want to force teams to do, which is defend. Teams are ready for us. Theyve adjusted. Now we have to.The Hurricanes were one of those teams that stifled the Rangers, holding them to 21 shots Tuesday. Goaltender Cam Ward allowed three goals and wasnt at his best, although he bounced back in Carolinas 2-1 shootout loss to the Bruins in Boston on Thursday. He stopped 34 of 35 shots and will likely get a chance to redeem himself against the Rangers.Cam continues to play great, making all the saves that he can see, Hurricanes defenseman Ron Hainsey said.A problem for the Hurricanes for most of this season has been finding the extra point in overtimes and shootouts. They have played six games that have gone beyond regulation and have won just once. Those five points theyve left on the table are the difference between their current 14th-place spot in the Eastern Conference and a wild-card spot.Theres no frustration. Youve got to find a way to get the next one, right? Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said of the Boston loss to the News & Observer. Youve got to get to three (goals). Threes a real good number. We got one on the power play and theirs wasnt an even-strength goal in the game.We had some even-strength chances. Weve got to find a way to score. Stan Smith Offerta .4 million title. Ryan Riess emerged with the title after a session in which he started behind, but used expert skill to gather the chips to his side amid the unpredictability of no-limit Texas Hold em. Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with an Ace-King. Stan Smith Scontate .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. http://www.stansmithscontate.it/ . The team also announced Tuesday that the Braves will wear a commemorative patch on the right sleeve during the season. The patch, shaped like home plate, carries the number 715, Aarons autograph and a "40th Anniversary" banner. Stan Smith Outlet Italia . The Cleveland Indians, Tampa Bay Rays, and Texas Rangers all won on Sunday meaning the Rangers will host the Rays in a play-in game on Monday. Stan Smith Uomo Saldi . A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne. He was the kid who replaced Benji Marshall for one game, but now Drew Hutchison wants to take over for good.Controversially called up in place of the axed veteran last week, Hutchison was solid without being spectacular in St George Illawarras loss to Parramatta on Monday night.And while it will be his only NRL appearance of the season, given Marshall has been handed a farewell in Saturdays final game against Newcastle, Hutchison is confident of solving the Dragons attacking woes.Only the lowly Eels and Knights have scored fewer points than the Red V so far this year.Criticism of attack is warranted. We havent scored enough points this year and thats it, Hutchison said.My game, I play very straight and Im a bigger body. So my running game (poses) a bit more of a threat. I reckon I could help with the teams attack next year.The local junior admits that even though hes enjoyed learning his craft in reserve grade, hes been left frustrated by his lack of first grade opportunities since making his debut midway through last season.But with the Dragons yet to sign an established playmaker since opting not to renew Marshalls contract, Hutchison insists he is now ready to deliver on his ppotential.ddddddddddddI genuinely hope thats the case and Ill be training very hard in the pre-season to do that, he said.Obviously theres other good players in the club that can play in the halves. Ill definitely be trying my best to stay there and play with (five-eighth Gareth Widdop) next year.Hopefully I can be the starting No.7 next year.A former NSW State of Origin under-20s captain, Hutchison said he spent a lot of time learning at the feet of Marshall, who has 14 years in the game, including a premiership with Wests Tigers in 2005.Hes got the locker next to mine and were always talking to each other, Hutchison said.Obviously hes got a very good running game and hes a smart player. Hes been around for over 10, 11 years now. I can always go to him for advice.When the team was first named I felt a bit sad, hes been one of my idols growing up.He come up to me and give me a pat on the shoulder and said `no hard feelings, and hes going to help me through this week. He definitely did that and made it easy for me to go out there and play my own game. ' ' '
