NEW YORK - Erik Christensen didn't know his role when the
New York Rangers claimed him on waivers from Anaheim in
December.Christensen has emerged as more than a spare part.
He had his finest game as a Ranger, scoring two
Dick Butkus Jersey goals and adding an a sist
in a 5-2 win over the Tampa Lightning on Sunday."I think
it's been a steady climb since I got here." Christensen
said. "I was unsure of myself when I first got here, trying
to keep my head down. I didn't know what to expect.
Management had been working
Zach Miller Jersey with me to become a more
confident person, and a more confident player."Christensen
certainly looked poised as he led the way for the Rangers,
who head into the Olympic break on a two-game winning
streak.Sean Avery, Vinny Prospal and Chris Drury also
scored for the Rangers, who fell behind 2-0 in the first
period."We try to get off to good starts every day, every
game," Drury said. "Some nights we can turn it on and win,
but we are not consistent. Starts are crucial and we should
be looking, when we get back, to improve on our starts."The
win allowed the Rangers to tie the Lightning at 63 points,
one point behind eighth-place Montreal for the post-season
cutoff in the Eastern Conference.Steven Stamkos and Steve
Downie scored for the Lightning, who have lost three in a
row following
Kevin White Jersey a season-high four-game
winning streak."We don't feel very good," Stamkos said.
"Losing three in a row heading into the break is not
acceptable, especially in the race that
Victor Cruz Jersey we're in. We should use
this break to really think about the next 21 games we have.
It's embarra sing the way we've played these last three
games after going on that little run."Trailing 2-0, the
Rangers scored four unanswered goals in the second period.
