Kreider ties it in third, Pouliot wins it in shootout for Rangers, 4-3

The Score: Hey Dolan, let's mix things up a bit

Could Henrik Lundqvist become the defensive stopper Mike Woodson's been searching for? Is it possible Carmelo Anthony can rescue the Rangers offense from the doldrums they call home?

Rangers' Staal improves, but still off ice

The Rangers, believe it or not, have good news.Injured top-four defenseman Marc Staal, who suffered a concussion last Saturday against the Devils, has participated in three straight days of off-ice conditioning and is “doing real well,” coach Alain Vigneault said after Friday’s optional practice in Greenburgh.

Many Rangers wanted John Tortorella gone in May because they had tired of his overbearing approach, but he also was fired because many players and GM Glen Sather believed New York’s roster was more talented and offensive-oriented — remember that phrase — compared to the previous season’s hard-nosed, shot-blocking Eastern Conference finalist and, therefore, should have been coached differently.

Expect Alain Vigneault's rotating wheel of healthy scratches to keep spinning until the Rangers stop spiraling. Sunday night, veteran center Dominic Moore was the latest Blueshirt to watch his teammates from the luxury boxes, but Benoit Pouliot's return was not designed to be the difference, and it wasn't, in a 4-1 loss to the division-rival Washington Capitals at the Garden.
