Hartnett: Rangers Have Edge In Second-Round Series With Banged-Up Bruins

Lichtenstein: Blazing-Hot Henrik Lundqvist On Way To Earning His Crown

It’s only the second round, but the Rangers have to be feeding off the momentum provided by Lundqvist’s turn. If he keeps it up, I could be put in position to admit that Lundqvist did indeed earn his crown.

While the Capitals stayed off the ice on Tuesday to recover, the Rangers held a full practice. They were without forward Rick Nash, who was given a “maintenance day,” and Darroll Powe, who was injured on Monday and is unlikely to play in Game 4.
