Ryan Callahan grew up in Rochester, just down the road from Buffalo. Wednesday he celebrated his homecoming with the winning goal in the shootout to propel the Rangers to a 1-0 win over the Sabres. Callahan's heroics might not have mattered if not for an outstanding night in the pipes by Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist stopped all 34 shots he faced and made two amazing saves with time running out in regulation and overtime. The win gives the Rangers three points in four nights and keeps them atop the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, Deron Williams had a huge game, scoring 26 while dishing out 9 assists as the Nets beat Detroit 99-96.
