Kolzig Shines Against Devils
 The
New York Rangers faced off against the best team in the
Wales Conference last night. The New Jersey Devils are
31-13-2 and have owned the Rangers going into last night
with a record of 3-0-0. All the scoring happened in the 1st
period with Nicklas Lidstrom getting things started with his
9th goal of the season. The Devils answered back
less than a minute later with Laurie Boschman’s 26th
of season. Exactly 3 minutes later, the Rangers would put
the game away for good with a goal from Vyacheslav Kozlov
and just for good measure Rob Ray scored his 8th
goal of the season just 40 seconds later. That was more than
enough for goalie Olaf Kolzig. He faced 15 shots in the 1st
period and stopped all but 1. He only faced 12 shots the
rest of the game and turned them all away. There will most
certainly be some bumps along the way but Kolzig appears to
be improving with each start and the Rangers’ brass are
confident they have found their franchise goalie. |
