With the Pittsburgh Penguins lurking right behind him, the New York Rangers have gotten back to the winning ways that vaulted them to the top of the Eastern Conference. After seeing a substantial lead whittled to just one point, as the Penguins went on a refuse-to-lose surge, the Rangers appear to have broken out of their slump. They still have little room for error, but for now they are keeping Pittsburgh at arm's length. Ryan Callahan ripped a shot in off a goal post 2:42 into overtime to lift the Rangers over Detroit 2-1 on Wednesday night, sending the injury-riddled Red Wings to their sixth straight loss.
