The Rangers beat Winnipeg 4-2, thanks to some outstanding goaltending from Henrik Lundqvist and some great special teams. Michael Del Zotto brought New York back from the brink with a short-handed goal when the Jets were ahead 2-0. Ryan Callahan followed that up with a power-play goal to tie the game before the end of the second period. Brian Boyle and Derek Stepan gave the Rangers the win with goals in the third and New York now has 105 points to lead the Eastern Conference by five points.
It's probably impossible to figure out the Knicks at this point. They entered Wednesday's game against the Magic without Amar'e and Jeremy LIn. Yet, they cruised to an easy 108-86 win against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Carmelo led the way with 25, but the defense deserves a lot of the credit as it held Dwight Howard to 12 points and forced him into 6 turnovers.
Deron Williams led the Nets to an 100-84 win over Indiana by scoring 30 points and handing out 9 assists. New Jersey only led by 2 after three quarters, but a 31-17 run gave them the victory.
