NY Rangers tame the Predators 3-0

New York: Henrik Lundqvist made 31 saves in his second shutout of the season as the New York Rangers beat the Nashville Predators 3-0 Monday for their ninth straight victory at home. Rick Nash, Derek Stepan and Kevin Hayes scored for the Rangers, who won for the 11th time in 12 games overall and improved to 16-3-2. New York’s 34 points are tied with Dallas and Montreal for most in the NHL. The shutout was the 57th in regular-season play for Lundqvist and his second against Nashville. Jonathan Quick bounced back from a poor performance and Alec Martinez scored the go-ahead goal late in the second period to lift Los Angeles to 3-1 win over Florida.
