Rangers 2, Isles 1 after 1
Zenon Konopka's swat at a loose puck that trickled past a kneeling Martin Biron's left side cut a Rangers 2-0 lead to 1 with 49 seconds left in the first. Otherwise, Rangers had terriorial edge.

Rangers goals were by Christensen on a snap shot from the right side at 8:11 and Callahan on a tip-in in front of DiPietro at 17:07...
