Rangers Crush Bolts 8-2 at MSG!

NEW YORK—The last time the New York Rangers scored eight goals was on Jan. 23, 2002. Almost exactly eight years later, the Rangers matched that feat with an 8–2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

The victory along with the 6–2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday mark the first time in nearly three years that the Rangers have scored six goals or more in back-to-back games.

Before the game, Rangers head coach John Tortorella said, “We had a little bit of edge to our game and that’s something very important that we need to do consistently.” The Blueshirts have now brought that edge to two straight home games.

Lundqvist, on the other hand, continued his stellar play this season and hasn’t allowed more than two goals since December. The two Tampa Bay scores came from Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier and Alex Tanguay.

The Rangers climbed into fifth place in the Eastern Conference with the big win. They travel to face the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday hoping to avenge a 6–0 pasting from late December.
