During a sluggish first period, a difficult second period, and a tense third period, there were few signs the New York Rangers would be able to hold off the Boston Bruins and extend their season for at least one more game. The Rangers played poorly in the opening 20 minutes, but managed to get to intermission in a scoreless tie.

The Chicago Blackhawks began the year with a record-breaking start. The NHL's best team during the regular season will have to finish the season strong to avoid flopping out of the playoffs in the second round. Jakub Kindl scored on a power play in the second period, Daniel Cleary had an empty-net goal and Jimmy Howard made 28 saves to help the Detroit Red Wings earn a 2-0 win Thursday night that puts the Blackhawks on the brink of elimination. After losing Game 1, the seventh-seeded Red Wings have surged into control of the second round series by handing the Blackhawks their first three-game losing streak of the year. Is Detroit coach Mike Babcock surprised that his team that barely made the playoffs is a win away from the Western Conference finals. "If you would ask me two months ago, I would be shocked," he acknowledged. Game 5 is Saturday night in Chicago, where goaltender Corey Crawford is confident the team can win the first of three straight games. "We've gone on streaks before," Crawford said.
