Thought the game, it was all back and forth hockey action. Antropov scored his 25th of the season to put the Rangers up 1-0 early in the Second.I was at the Canadiens morning skate and Kovalev was practicing his 1 timers, so guess what Kovalev did in the game he scored a one timer on the powerplay (his 17th goal of the year) to tie the game at 1-1. Then early in the second the Canadiens were down 2-1 when Maxim Lapierre scored for the Canadiens on a great deke to tie the game at 2-2. Chris Drury later put the Rangers up a goal, until Andrei Markov tied the game again. The game eventually went to a shootout,when Markus Naslund, Nik Antropov and Chris Drury all scored for New York. while Alex Kovalev and Andrei Markov scored for the Canadiens, but Andrei Kostitsyn was stopped by Lunquist.
"It's a tough building to play in and we knew they'd come out strong with some of the things that have gone on here," said Rangers coach John Tortorella. "We found a way to win.""It was a good game for us," Gainey said "We didn't give up, but it was hard because we never had a lead.We were always trailing. I thought we should have attacked and scored more goals, especially at home in a very important game. But we gave ourselves a chance to win after three periods."Thought the game, the crowd booed Sean Avery of the Rangers each time he touched the puck. The Canadiens next game will be tomorrow against the Senators.
