New York, NY (Sports Network) - Ryan Callahan scored the goal that proved to
be the deciding tally in the New York Rangers' 2-1 victory over the
Philadelphia Flyers.
However, the Rangers' captain left Tuesday's game after being injured in a
third-period scrum with Philadelphia's Maxime Talbot. Callahan, who gave New
York a 2-0 lead with a power-play goal in the second period, tussled with
Talbot at 4:42 of the third. Sensing Callahan was in distress, Talbot eased up
and motioned for the trainers. Callahan got to his skates and left the ice
hunched over, favoring his left shoulder/arm.
Michael Del Zotto had the other goal for the Rangers, who have won consecutive
games since losing by the same score to the Flyers last Thursday. New York
goalie Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves.
Ilya Bryzgalov played well in defeat for Philadelphia, stopping 26 shots.
