Rangers 6, Panthers 3
Defenseman Dan Boyle's fluky third-period goal proved to be the
difference as the New York Rangers held off the Florida Panthers.
Boyle's goal at 8:10 was a seemingly harmless fling to the net that
deflected off the stick of Panthers defenseman Willie Mitchell and
past goaltender Roberto Luongo for the deciding goal.
Rick Nash scored twice for the Rangers (29-15-4), including an
empty-netter with 1:53 to go in regulation, to increase his season
total to a league-leading 31.
Luongo turned aside 32 shots for Florida (21-17-10) in defeat.
