His profile was raised considerably on Dec. 20, when he produced the NHL's first five-goal game in 11 years during a win over the New York Rangers. He was so hot he could've scored six or seven times. ``It was an amazing night. I had a lot of fun,'' Gaborik said this week. The eight games that followed his feat weren't very fun. The Wild went 3-5, and Gaborik's rating was a minus-seven. Le |

| (Best E Casino) - It has been a while since the Buffalo Sabres posted a victory. The New York Rangers haven't been much better as of late. One team will find the win column tonight, as the two franchises are set to square off at Madison Square Garden. The Sabres were defeated in a shootout, 3-2, by New Jersey on Saturday, the club's franchise-record ninth straight defeat. What has to be frustrating for Buffalo is how close it is coming to victory.

However, the 35-year-old center has been playing with a sore left shoulder in recent weeks. Nylander posted career highs in goals (26), assists (57) and points (83) in 79 games for the New York Rangers last season. The 14-year veteran has recorded 200 goals and 446 assists for Hartford, Calgary, Tampa Bay, Chicago, Washington, Boston and New York. |

Nylander has 200 goals and 446 in 848 career games with Hartford, Calgary, Tampa Bay, Chicago, Boston, the New York Rangers and Washington. McPhee said the Capitals would not call up a player from their Hershey affiliate in the American Hockey League to take Nylander's roster spot. Instead, they will lean more heavily on center Boyd Gordon and winger Viktor Kozlov, who |
