The Mimico Marvel scored one of his most memorable goals Saturday night, and it's not even going to count. Brendan Shanahan, the leading goal scorer among all active NHL players, scored his eighth of the season and the 606th of his spectacular career, but it was his shootout gem that won't count in the points race that gave the New York Rangers a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night. Five players missed before ...

Tomas Vokoun's slow start has quickly become a distant memory. After allowing 13 goals in Nashville's opening two losses, the Predators' goalie has roared back during an impressive three-game winning streak. His latest effort was a 38-save performance that produced his 17th NHL shutout and gave the Predators a 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night. ``My job is to stop the puck,'' said Vokoun, who has turned away 91 of the past 93 he's faced. ...

Brendan Shanahan came to New York to take some of the Rangers' scoring load off Jaromir Jagr's shoulders. He is doing that along with taking faceoffs, killing penalties and playing tough defence. Shanahan scored his NHL-leading seventh goal of the young season, and the Rangers outlasted the New Jersey Devils 4-2 Monday night. New York coach Tom Renney is maximizing what he has in the seven-time all-star, who despite 605 NHL goals is way more than just a ...

Chris Drury had his first career three-goal game, and also added an assist, to help the Buffalo Sabres win their fifth consecutive game, 7-4 over the New York Rangers on Saturday night. Buffalo, which reached the Eastern Conference finals last season, is off to its best start since winning its first eight games of the 1975-76 season. The game was played despite the region still recovering from a crippling snow storm that began late Thursday night. Nearly 350,000 households ...

Sidney Crosby scored a power-play goal with 3.3 seconds left, his fourth point of the game, and the Pittsburgh Penguins pulled out a wild 6-5 victory over the New York Rangers on Thursday night. Crosby fired a pass from the right-wing boards, while Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr sat in the penalty box, that struck someone in front and ricocheted in. Earlier the 19-year-old phenom set up three goals for Pittsburgh, ...

Peter Forsberg had a goal and two assists, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the New York Rangers 4-2 Tuesday night for their first victory of the season. New York, which won a 13-round shootout in Philadelphia on Saturday, lost for the first time (2-1). Antero Niittymaki bounced back from the weekend loss and made 25 saves for the Flyers (1-1-1). Marcel Hossa won Saturday's shootout with the only goal in ...

Marcel Hossa beat Antero Niittymaki in the 13th round of a shootout to give the New York Rangers a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night. After 12 Rangers failed to come close to scoring, Hossa finally finished off one of the longest shootouts in NHL history. The Rangers, of course, know a little something about winning long shootouts. They went 15 rounds to beat Washington last season. Simon Gagne scored twice and Peter Forsberg ...

Brendan Shanahan scored twice in his debut with the New York Rangers on Thursday night, becoming the 15th NHL player with 600 goals. Shanahan electrified the Madison Square Garden fans in the second period with a breakaway goal that gave New York a 3-1 lead in its season opener against Washington. He reached the milestone in more typical fashion, putting a puck in from in front of the net during ...

Jaromir Jagr delivered a Mark Messier moment just 29 seconds into his first game as captain of the New York Rangers. Brendan Shanahan then made it a perfect Broadway opening. Wearing the ``C'' that Messier made famous, Jagr burst up ice during his first shift and scored on the initial shot of the season, sparking New York to a 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals on Thursday night. Shanahan made it a rout in his Rangers debut, ...

Brendan Shanahan's left eye sported shades of black and blue and yellow, surrounded by jagged cuts that any hockey player would be proud of. The Rangers' new forward joked that his badge of honour was incurred during team bonding exercises over the weekend _ a kayak race gone awry. The reality was much less dramatic. A wayward shot from a teammate before Saturday's exhibition game in Boston hit the crossbar ...

Nigel Dawes scored a pair of goals and Jaromir Jagr scored a goal and added an assist Saturday as the New York Rangers took advantage of four power-play opportunities to beat the Boston Bruins 5-3 in a pre-season game. It was the first time Jagr had played in back-to-back games since Games 3 and 4 of last season's playoffs against the New York Islanders. He had surgery May 8 to ...
