The Rangers received some help from their defensive corps inSaturday's 4-3 triumph in overtime over the Pittsburgh Penguins.The blue-liners scored all four goals for the Rangers,including Jason Strudwick's game-winning tally in the extrasession.


The win propelled the Rangers into the top spot in the division.Jagr leads the squad with 13 assists and 17 points on theseason, but the main reason for the Rangers' success has beenHenrik Lundqvist.
