New York Rangers vs New York Islanders: A 6-2 thrashing of their rivals

The New York Rangers withstood an early goal by the Islanders, stood up to their toughest players and seemingly scored at will in one of their more complete wins of the season. In a season that has been full of ups and downs, the Blueshirts came back from one of their worst losses of the year to record one of their best.

After they jumped out to an early lead, the Islanders tried to intimidate the Rangers, but Micheal Haley and Brendan Smith didn’t back down. From that point until the middle of the second period, it was all Rangers as they scored three straight goals.
