NHL Scores And More: Rangers Comeback To Top Penguins, Jon Quick Blanks Philly

It didn’t look good early on Sunday afternoon for the New York Rangers, as the depleted Pittsburgh Penguins used goals from Deryk Engelland and Nick Johnson to jump out to a quick 2-0 lead. That would be all the Pens could muster.

Ryan Callahan scored two power play goals as the Rangers scored five straight en route to a huge 5-2 victory. It ended a terrible 0-4-1 stretch that saw New York drop like a rock in the Eastern Conference standings, and Blueshirt Banter says that now the team can finally turn the page.

Jonathan Quick is good at this hockey thing, and as it turns out, a road trip that looked like it had the potential to kill the Los Angeles Kings is turning into some sort of resurrection. The Kings continued that trip with a 40 save performance from Quick as they beat the Eastern-leading Philadelphia Flyers 1-0 at Wells Fargo Center.

It’s just the latest big victory for Los Angeles, which now has points in the first six games of its season-long 10 game road trip. Anze Kopitar scored the lone goal in a game that was split pretty evenly. The Flyers hit a few posts and had several quality scoring chances but in the end, they just couldn’t put one in the net.
