Chris Kreider scored the go-ahead goal on a power play midway through the third period and the Eastern Conference-leading New York Rangers beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 on Friday night.
DETROIT — Barclay Goodrow had two goals to double his season total, Will Cuylle also scored and Jonathan Quick made 30 saves. The Rangers have 108 points, three more than Boston in the chase for home- ice advantage in the Eastern Conference playoffs.Goodrow, who plays on the fourth line, was switched from center to left wing and the move paid off.'He's a blood-and-guts type of guy and you need those guys in your lineup,' Rangers coach Peter Laviolette said.
'The frustrating thing is you can play a perfect game and lose to a team of that caliber, but I don't think we did that,' Red Wings coach Derek Lalonde said. 'We just gave them a little too much.'Cuylle scored his 13th goal at 5:58 of the first period as he stole Austin Czarnik's backward pass and wristed the puck past Lyon to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead. Detroit tied it just over a minute later on Copp's backhander in front of the net for his 13th.
