NEW YORK, N.Y. - The New York Rangers got complete effort to snap a losing streak. For the Carolina Hurricanes, it was another tough loss.Henrik Lundqvist stopped 29 shots and then all three attempts in a shootout, and Rick Nash scored the only goal in the tiebreaker to lift the Rangers over the Hurricanes 2-1 Thursday night.Derick Brassard scored his third goal in his last three games to help New York (2-3-0) snap a three-game skid.I think we needed to feel we could play a solid, 60-minute game, said Lundqvist. You need every point you can get. Just because we had a great comeback (from early-season doldrums) last year, it doesnt mean its going to happen this year. We need to ... stay in the (playoff) race from the get-go.While New York is expected to contend for an Eastern Conference playoff berth, the Hurricanes could spend the season contending for the first overall pick in Junes Draft, and the opportunity to select either Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel.Still, Carolina (0-2-2) — one of four winless teams in the NHL along with Edmonton, Florida and Philadelphia — has earned points in the last two games.I think we played a strong 60-minute game, defenceman Jay Harrison said. Two games in a row we put back-to-back (a strong) effort.(Its an) us-against-the world mentality.Chris Terry scored and Anton Khudobin made 33 saves for Carolina.(Khudobin) kept us in the game, Harrison said. We need our goalies to be pillars back there.Terry scored his third of the season at 16:53 of the second period with a wrist shot from the circle that beat Lundqvist blocker side.New York tied it at 9:40 of the third when Brassard redirected Mats Zuccarellos deflection of Dan Girardis point shot past Khudobin.Rangers coach Alain Vigneault juggled his lines as the game progressed, moving Ryan Malone onto the third line with Brassard and Zuccarello, and dropping training-camp sensation Anthony Duclair onto the fourth line.I was looking to find nine guys that I felt could give us a little spark, Vigneault said. I wanted to see what Malone could do a little bit more there with Brassard and Zucarello. (Chris Kreider) was fighting it a bit, so I was just trying to find nine guys that could give me a little more there.Vigneault also changed defence pairings as Kevin Klein was partnered with Marc Staal, and Matt Hunwick skated with John Moore.Sometimes you just got to shuffle the deck a little bit, Vigneault said. Took (Martin St. Louis) away from the centre position there, tried a few different combinations, sometimes you just got to see what can happen, and see what might click.The personnel changes paid off on Brassards goal. Up to that point, New Yorks best chance to tie the game occurred 6:25 into the third when Nash had two chances in close following Justin Faulks giveaway in the defensive zone. Khudobin made pad saves to stone Nash.Despite not scoring in the regulation or overtime period to end his consecutive games with a goal streak to start the season at four, Nash put forth another strong effort as he finished with four shots and attempted five.New York finished with advantages in shots on goal (34-29) and shot attempts (66-47).When your third shooter is Nash and he has six goals in (the five) games weve played so far, we are pretty confident, Brassard said. Ive known him for a long time and as soon as I saw him in the first practice (in training camp), I knew he meant business. Hes been really good for us and we are going to need him to be good for the rest of the season.NOTES: Carolina forwards Patrick Dwyer, Eric and Jordan Staal, Jeff Skinner, and defenceman Andrej Sekera, missed the game with injuries. Dwyer and Staal did not make the trip. Skinner and Sekera did participate in the morning skate. ... Hunwick replaced Michael Kostka in New Yorks lineup. ... The game marked the first of five in a row on the road for Carolina in a 12-day span, due to the North Carolina state fair. ... New York was 0 for 5 on the power play to fall to 0 for 16 this season.
Adidas Clearance Sale . Im very excited about the playoffs, particularly in the Western Conference with amazing match-ups, as well as the wonderful local story in the Toronto Raptors. It should be a blast. Here are my predictions, but based upon my lousy prognostications during the NCAA Tournament, you might be better off going the other way on some of mine - particularly with the Raptors, who I hope and pray are able to win an incredibly difficult match-up.

DETROIT -- Spencer Abbott and Greg McKegg scored shootout goals to lift the Toronto Marlies to a 4-3 victory over the Grand Rapids Griffins on Monday in an AHL outdoor game in front of 20,337 at Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers. Abbott had two assists during regulation, and McKegg had one. They were the only players to score in the five-round shootout. Luke Glendening, who was playing in his fourth career outdoor game, scored twice for the Griffins. "Its special," said Glendening, a Grand Rapids native and Michigan graduate. "Its in Detroit, and I come to Tigers games with my family and friends, so to be able to play here was fun. "Obviously, were frustrated with the outcome, but to soak in the whole experience was special." Carter Ashton had a goal and an assist for the Marlies. The game was part of the Hockeytown Winter Festival. preceding the NHLs Winter Classic between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium on New Years Day. "It was louder than I thought it was going to be," Griffins coach Jeff Blashill said. "The fans were into it for sure, and Id be interested to be a Tiger and see what its like when its full because it was loud out there. "It was a great atmosphere." Of the seven previous AHL outdoor games, five have gone to overtime. Toronto forward Kenny Ryan, who is from nearby Franklin, Mich., scored the tying goal at 2:22 of the third period. "I come to games a lot in the summer with friends and family,&quuot; Ryan said.dddddddddddd "It was a pretty cool experience sitting out there in the outfield, almost, just looking at all the people that came, everything that was going on. "It was a really great experience." Light snow fell periodically throughout the game, and the game-time temperature was a chilly 22 degrees. Outdoor games are generally tougher on the goalies, who dont get a chance to warm up on the heated benches. "It was definitely tough staying warm out there," Griffins goalie Tom McCollum said. "I was skating around as much as I could. I actually ended up switching to a heavier shirt after the first period. It seemed to help a little bit but its one of those things you have to battle through." Marlies counterpart Drew Macintyre, who spent time in the Detroit organization, admitted to his own struggles, as well. "After a while, you get comfortable in a game. Pucks tend to kind of stick to you," Macintyre said. "Every puck, it was a battle to kind of cradle the rebounds. The entire game, you feel like you just got into the game. Even when I got into the shootout, it was like the game just started. "I hadnt got into a rhythm. That was different." It was the largest home crowd for the Griffins, who usually play at the 10,834-seat Van Andel Arena. However, it wasnt a record crowd for Grand Rapids, which played some games during its International Hockey League days at the 20,804-seat Palace -- the home of the NBAs Detroit Pistons.
