Rangers 2, Islanders 1: The Islanders have enough trouble winning games with Rick DiPietro in net. So imagine how they felt when an injury to backup Joey MacDonald meant Yann Danis -- fresh off the bus from Bridgeport -- got some facetime. He allowed two goals in a 1:56 span in the second period, and that was just enough for the Rangers. Nigel Dawes and Chris Drury got the glory for the Rangers, who got a strong performance from Henrik Lundqvist. The Islanders have lost five straight and are going nowhere fast. They have the league's worst record and have gone 2-15-2 since Nov. 29. So the Rangers' only acceptable result was a two-point haul.
