Three Point Swing

The worst thing to happen to the Rangers last night was not Kaleta's bank shot off Lundqvist's pad to give Buffalo an overtime win. (though how two Rangers defensemen managed to entangle themselves on the wrong side of the net on the play is a depressing mystery)

The worst thing that happened last night- by far- was Montreal's stunning comeback against the Anaheim Ducks, whereby they erased a two-goal defecit in the final two minutes of the third, en route to a 4-3 shootout win.

Instead of gaining a point on eighth place following their second straight night of hard work, the Rangers lost two. The bar for making the playoffs was raised by two points as a result of Montreal's "Miracle at the Pond." The Rangers lost ground in the playoff race last night- a frightening thing to do in mid-March.
