[March 19, 2015]  March 18 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Wednesday's National Hockey League games:

Blackhawks 1, Rangers 0

Brad Richards snapped a scoreless stalemate halfway through the third period to earn the Chicago Blackhawks a narrow victory over the New York Rangers.

Richards was playing his first game at Madison Square Garden since the Rangers bought out his contract in the offseason. He spent the previous three seasons with New York before signing for Chicago.

Backup goaltender Scott Darling stopped 25 shots to earn the win for the Blackhawks (43-21-6), who are 6-1-0 in their past seven games.

Goaltender Cam Talbot made 30 saves for the Rangers (44-18-7), who had their five-game winning streak snapped and are tied with Montreal for top spot in the Eastern Conference. (Compiled by Jahmal Corner; Editing by John O'Brien)
