• Rangers 6 Colorado 1: Can we credit the new coach for this offensive explosion or should we just write this off as what should happen when a lousy team hits the road? After all, Colorado didn’t look very good against the Devils the other night.

    Yes, Colorado is bad, but the Rangers showed a different side Saturday night. They kept the pressure on and converted the chances they got. They took a 2-0 lead 68 seconds into the game and forced the Avalanche into a goalie change midway through the first period. All the big names had good games and Lauri Korpikoski added two assists.

  • Miami 120 Knicks 115: A 15-point lead entering the fourth quarter should be safe, but not in the hands of the Knicks. New York went cold at the wrong time and they let Dwyane Wade go nuts for 46 points. Nate Robinson had 29 points in the loss.

  • Islanders 2 Buffalo 0: Yann Danis kept rolling with 31 saves to shutout the Sabres.

  • Devils 7 Florida 2: Zach Parise had two goals and an assist and the Devils blitzed the Panthers with 46 shots. Martin Brodeur had an easy night, facing only 17 shots.
