    For 55 minutes, the New York Islanders got the best of the New York Rangers. It was the final 6 that could cause them to lose some sleep.

    Evgeni Nabokov was perfect for most of Thursday night and had his sights set on his 54th NHL shutout until Rick Nash scored with 5:23 left in regulation to send the game into overtime.

    The Rangers were given their third power play the only ones in the game --just seconds into the extra session, and Marian Gaborik ended his long scoring drought to give them a 2-1 win at 42 seconds of overtime.
