Zucs get Rangers winning in Europe

Mats Zuccarello started a string of four unanswered goals and the Rangers rallied for a 4-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava yesterday for their third straight preseason win in Europe.

The host team took a 1-0 lead on Ivan Svarny's slap shot during a first-period power play, but Zuccarrelo tied it during a five-on-three advantage in the second and goals from Brian Boyle and Artem Anisimov later in the period put the Rangers in control.

Ryan McDonagh finished the scoring midway through the third.

The Rangers also have beaten Czech Republic's Sparta Prague, 2-0, and Sweden's Frolunda, 4-2, during their European tour.

They will play EV Zug in Switzerland today before returning to Sweden to start the regular season against the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks on Friday and Saturday in Stockholm.
