NEW YORK (Ticker) - Coach Tom Renney wants more effort from hisplayers when the New York Rangers host the Dallas Stars onSunday afternoon.


The Rangers are coming off a 3-2 shootout loss to the FloridaPanthers, but it could have been much worse if not for the playof goaltender Steve Valiquette, who made 33 saves.

Renney said there was just one reason why his team lost.

"I'm not real happy with our overall effort," he said. "I don'tthink we came out prepared to compete and be mentally andphysically engaged to go up against a team (like Florida)."

New York will also hope to get more production from captainJaromir Jagr, who has just four goals over the first 23 gamesafter notching at least 30 goals in each of the previous 15seasons.


Defenseman Michal Rozsival leads the Rangers in goals withseven, while Jagr has a team-leading 13 assists and 17 pointsthis season.


The Rangers' effort will have to improve if they wish to defeatthe Stars, who have won four straight games.


Antti Miettinen did not need any help to score the eventualgame-winning goal on Friday night, a 3-1 triumph over theToronto Maple Leafs. Miettinen stole the puck from defensemanTomas Kaberle, skated in and beat goalie Vesa Toskala with 4:29remaining in the second period.


Dallas has surrendered just three goals over its current winningstreak.
