Grammy Awards

With the first Grammy (star) of the night, Alexander Georgiev. With 55 saves tonight Georgiev is well deserving of this Grammy for Goaltender of the Night. Not allowing any goals in after the first period Georgiev easily played his best game of the season. In a bizarre bit of trivia, Georgiev became the second goalie in NHL history to have over 50 saves on his birthday since they started keeping track over 30 years ago.  The other?  Henrik Lundqvist last season.

The second Grammy of the night goes to Mats Zuccarello. Zuccarello had two assists on the night, along with three shots on goal and two hits. The Grammy of best forward of the night definitely goes to Zuccarello.

The last Grammy of the night goes to Adam McQuaid for defenseman of the night. McQuaid was all over the score sheet tonight with a goal in the third period. He also had two shots on net, two hits and three blocked shots. Also, he contributed almost three minutes on the penalty kill.

With the win, the Rangers climb within seven points of the Pittsburgh Penguins for the final wild card spot.  It also moves them nine points ahead of the last place Ottawa Senators.
