NEW YORK (Ticker) - Considering all the bad bounces the New YorkRangers encountered in their first 50 minutes, somethingfinally had to give.


Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Shanahan scored power-play goals nearlythree minutes apart in the third period as the Rangers recordeda 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night atMadison Square Garden.


It looked like another fruitless night trying to reach the netfor the Rangers, who had just a tip-in by Nigel Dawes in thefirst period during their first 28 shots.


New York continued to put shots towards the nets but had somefrustrating experiences by hitting crossbars and posts whileencountering some timely goaltending by Johan Holmqvist.

Frustration turned to jubilation just 13 seconds after theLightning's Chris Gratton was sent to the penalty box forcross-checking midway through the final session.


Defenseman Michal Rozsival found Jagr open just inside the blueline near the Tampa Bay bench. The Czech superstar unleashed ashot that got past Holmqvist, who was screened by Shanahan.

Looking for more, the Rangers got it just over a minute afterShane O'Brien was called for hooking. Shanahan parked himselfin the same exact spot of the doorstep and tipped Chris Drury'sshot from the right circle with 6:31 left.


However, before the Rangers struck, they encountered nothing butfrustration, especially in the second period.


They were on their way to scoring fewer than three goals for thefifth straight game and eighth time in their first 11 contests,losing a 1-0 lead when Vincent Lecavalier scored on a penaltyshot 6:28 into the second.


Rookie defensemen Marc Staal hit the left post on a blast fromthe point, blue-liner Paul Mara's shot from down low went offthe crossbar and New York failed to score during a 5-on-3 asHolmqvist stopped shots by Scott Gomez and Jagr.


With 11:37 remaining in the third, New York had a goaldisallowed when Drury used his hand to redirect a shot by Mara.

The Rangers opened the scoring when Dawes put himself in a goodposition to screen Holmqvist and tipped a blast from the rightpoint by Mara.


Linemate Shanahan started the play by gathering a loose puck inthe left circle and dished to Mara. Mara unloaded, Dawes tippedit and the puck trickled past Holmqvist.


The 1-0 lead stood until defenseman Marek Malik took downLecavalier on a partial breakaway. Lecavalier patientlystreaked through the slot and waited for netminder HenrikLundqvist to commit before sliding a backhander into the net.

Lundqvist made 21 stops for New York, which scored on the powerplay for just the fourth time in a game this season.

Holmqvist made 32 saves for the Lightning, who have lost threestraight here to the Rangers.
