Rick Nash and Pavel Buchnevich Carry Rangers Past Sabres

The Rangers badly needed to follow up Tuesday’s win over the Flyers with a solid performance, and bank two more points. With the bottom-dwelling Sabres in town, the Rangers didn’t disappoint, winning 4-3. Though the game was a little bit close for comfort, it was another encouraging performance from the Blueshirts, who seem to have bounced back after hitting rock bottom in Pittsburgh.

The Rangers normally rely on a balanced scoring attack, but they’ve found a top line and have started to ride its collective hot hand. Rick Nash potted two more goals (he now has four in the last two games alone), and Pavel Buchnevich got the game-winner to stave off overtime after the Sabres tied the game 3-3 late in the third.
