Rangers Get Bigger, Keep Winning, Fighting

It was a relatively slow trade deadline for the NHL. The New York Rangers, the team on top of the fighting major leaders list, added the massive John Scott to the roster by sending a fifth round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Blueshirts took on their Hudson River Rivals last night. The game was got rougher in the second period and there were two fights towards the end.

Eric Boulton took on a tired-looking Brandon Prust. It was a slow back and forth, and an odd sight, as both players are about the same size, not in their usual David vs Goliath position.

A few minutes later David Clarkson jumped into Brandon Dubinsky, sparking the second fight. Dubinsky stayed on his skates, turned and the two dropped the gloves quickly.

The Rangers shutout the Devils 2-0. There was a combined total of only 27 shots.
