Rangers 5 Boston 3: The Rangers earned their most satisfying two points of the year and climbed into a tie for sixth with Montreal. New York fell behind 3-0 in the second period before Vinny Prospal scored two goals to bring them within one. But, they still trailed with under five minutes in the game when Brandon Dubinsky netted his 24th of the year to tie things up. Less than a minute later, Michael Sauer slipped a weak wrist shot past Tim Thomas and MSG erupted in euphoria. Derek Stepan scored his 21st into an empty net to put New York four points up in the race for the final playoff spot.
New York 4 Minnesota 3: They aren’t quite QuoGorMo, but the trio of JoSorMo looks pretty good. Joba, Soriano and Rivera finished things for Ivan Nova who allowed three runs over six innings. A-Rod and Posada powered the offense with two-run homers.
