Senators @ Rangers 1/14/10

Lundqvist kept the game scoreless with a phenomenal glove save on Kelly’s wicked rising snap shot off a 2-on-1 rush at 10:26. And at 11:40, he alertly took away the lower part of the net to deny Kovalev, who won a race with Dan Girardi to a loose puck, and followed with a spinning shot on goal.

The Rangers finally mounted extensive offensive pressure late in the second period. Granted their first power play of the game when Matt Carkner was whistled for boarding Sean Avery, the Rangers had several good scoring chances thwarted by Brodeur.

Tortorella changed up his power play units, replacing Ryan Callahan on the top unit with Brandon Dubinsky, and using Callahan, Artem Anisimov, and Erik Christensen up front on the second unit. Good puck movement and better scoring chances followed, but the Rangers were unable to score and the game remained deadlocked 0-0.

A second unsuccessful power play 39 seconds into the third period -- after Drury drew a penalty by driving hard to the net -- also kept the game scoreless. It remained that way until Campoli took advantage of loose play by the Rangers in front of their own net after a slick pass by Kovalev, the former Ranger.

“When you don’t score, one bad play or mistake costs you the game,” said Lundqvist. “It’s frustrating for everybody.”
