Win Gives Short Reprieve
Well, looks like Tom Renney keeps his job at least a little bit longer thanks to a 3-1 win over the league’s worst team in the New York Islanders. It took a lucky goal by Scott Gomez (one that Yann Danis really should’ve had), that broke a long stretch of futility on the power play and put the Rangers ahead for good.
Other highlights included a goal by Nigel Dawes in his first action after sitting the last handful of games, and an empty net goal by Fredrik Sjostrom to seal the deal. Petr Prucha held his own with Sean Bergenheim in what may be the Czech winger’s first NHL fight (sorry fans…I’m too busy to look that up).
