NEW YORK, N.Y. - Carl Hagelins contribution to the New York Rangers playoff-opening win was etched all over his busted-up mouth. Some efforts dont directly show up on the score sheet. Hagelin took a high stick from Philadelphias Jason Akeson with 7:35 left, and had his mouth cut open. That gave the Rangers a four-minute power play, and they made the most of it. Brad Richards and Derek Stepan scored 47 seconds apart, and the Rangers beat the Flyers 4-1 on Thursday night to stretch their home-winning streak over rival Philadelphia to nine games. "He got me pretty good, but I will take that," Hagelin said with a smile through his injured mouth. "Anytime that happens, youre ready to take one for the team, especially on a day like this when its tied." Hagelin said the double penalty was called when the referee saw he was bleeding a lot. No stitches were required to close the wound. The effect on Akeson remains to be seen. The 23-year-old forward was called up for the Flyers final game of the regular season for the second straight year. He has played in only three career NHL games. "I went to hit him, and my back leg swung out and my stick came up," Akeson said. "It was unfortunate. Its not like I went out there trying to take a four-minute penalty. It was a sick feeling watching them score." Richards gave the Rangers their first lead when a rebound of Martin St. Louis shot came to him, and he fired it in from the right circle, punctuating the moment with an emphatic fist pump at 8:22. Richards and St. Louis hooked up again to help set up Stepans insurance goal. New York worked the puck around the Philadelphia end, and Richards faked a drive. He instead sent a hard pass to Stepan for a shot into the open left side. "If you dont score or dont get momentum there, it can go the other way pretty quickly, and they can build off that," Richards said. "One was huge, but to be able to go back out there and get the other one, obviously that won us the game." Defenceman Andrew MacDonald had given the Flyers a 1-0 lead in the first, but the Rangers answered with Mats Zuccarellos goal. Hagelin pushed New Yorks edge to 4-1 with 4:08 left off another assist from Richards. Henrik Lundqvist made 14 saves for the win. Ray Emery, subbing for injured No. 1 goalie Steve Mason, stopped 32 shots in the loss. The Flyers had one shot in the third period. "I thought we were in good position tied going into the third, and obviously we would like to have a better third period, but its a long series," Emery said. "We came in here for two games, we have to get one. "We would like to get one. We thought it might be that one, but I guess it will be the next one." Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Sunday in New York. The Rangers havent lost to Philadelphia at Madison Square Garden since March 6, 2011, outscoring the Flyers 35-10 in that span. The Flyers took the lead on their first shot, after allowing four, following a big hit by Scott Hartnell on defenceman Ryan McDonagh to free the puck in the offensive zone. MacDonald, a trade deadline acquisition from the New York Islanders, wound up for a slap shot on the playoffs logo and sent the puck sailing past Lundqvist after it hit St. Louis in flight at 7:28. As the shot flew past him, McDonagh — who struggled with the puck several times in the opening period in his first game in April 1 — hit Claude Giroux in the side with his stick, sending the Flyers captain to the ice. Giroux was down on all fours before gingerly skating to the bench. He returned to action. "I was not myself, and just couldnt get a good grip on the puck, couldnt feel my skates," said McDonagh, who missed five games because of an injured shoulder. "The guys stayed positive with me and I found a way to contribute." The Rangers got even with 9:07 left on a strong, determined effort by Zuccarello. Benoit Pouliot skated in search of space and lost the puck off his stick in the left circle. Zuccarello swooped in, got the puck and fired a hard shot that Emery blocked away. While in stride, Zuccarello got the puck back and deftly slipped in a backhand for his second career NHL playoff goal. Rick Nash had five of New Yorks 14 shots in the first, mostly from long range, and nearly matched Philadelphias total of six in the frame. Both teams generated chances in the second period, but no goals. The Rangers again led in shots, but by a slight 9-8 margin. NOTES: Mason showed more improvement Thursday and was in attendance for the game. Flyers coach Craig Berube said he doesnt know if Mason will play in Game 2 on Sunday. ... The Flyers had their fewest shots in a playoff game since recording 14 against Montreal on April 28, 2008. Discount New York Jets Jerseys . "I had a pretty good year," the soft-spoken Granberg told TSN.ca with a grin from the teams annual rookie tournament in London. A fourth-round selection in 2010, Granberg is worth keeping an eye on with NHL training camps rolling around in less than a week. The six-foot-two, 200-pound defender may not possess the wow-inspiring theatrics of fellow prospect Morgan Rielly, but nonetheless has a chance to contribute with the Leafs when all is said and done this season.

You can watch the game live in the first half of a doubleheader on TSN and TSN GO at 3:00pm et/Noon pt.The Buffalo Sabres have assigned centre Sam Reinhart to the Western Hockey Leagues Kootenay Ice. Selected second overall by the Sabres at the 2014 NHL Draft, Reinhart has appeared in nine games with the team in 2014-15, notching one assist. The first year of Reinharts entry-level contract is preserved by virtue of the team sending him back to junior before his 10th NHL game. We want him to get back there and get stronger, Sabres general manager Tim Murray said. Hes going have to find a way - two or three times a week - to slip out on his own and get to the gym and get stronger. Reinhart appeared in 60 games with the Ice in 2013-14, scoring 36 goals and 69 assists for a team-leading 105 points. We want him to think a little more about conditioning and strength and things like that. Hell find a balance with our help, Murray added. The Sabres have managed a 2-8-1 record for just five points through 11 games. Only the Carolina Hurricanes - who have played three fewer games - have a lower points total this season. Reinhart has averaged 10:21 of ice-time in his nine games, almost all of it at even-strength. The start were off to as a team, I think, has an effect on a young guy, Murray said. A young guy plays to what the team is doing. If the team is really successful, I think some of the individual success comes to young players. If the team is going through a rough patch, that kid will go through the rough patch with the team. He was awarded the 2013-14 Four Broncos Memorial Trophy as WHL Player of the Year. He was also a member of Canadas fourth-place 2014 World Junior team. Murray believes this years World Junior tournament will be an important stepping stone in Reinharts development. The World Junior [tournament] becomes important because hes going to play a big role. Hes going to be a leader on the team, Murray said. Hockey Canadas going to lean on him, as they are with a couple other guys. Its a great chance for him to feel good about his game again. Reinhart scored two goals and two assists in seven games at the 2014 tournament and, as a returning member, is a virtual lock to make the team. The Sabres could face another decision in the coming weeks with defenceman Nikita Zadorov. Buffalo selecteed the six-foot-five, 235-pound Russian blueliner 16th overall in 2013, but the defender has only appeared in one game for the Sabres in 2014-15.ddddddddddddZadorov, 19, can not be assigned to the American Hockey League, so the Sabres must reassign him to either the Ontario Hockey Leagues London Knights before he plays his 10th game if they wish to preserve a year of his entry-level contract or arrange for him to play overseas. TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie reported earlier this week that Zadorovs agent has expressed his preference that Zadorov be allowed to play in Russias Kontinental Hockey League. Murray mentioned that Zadorovs situation has taken a back seat to Reinharts up until now. I havent come to [a] decision yet, he said. That could be tomorrow, that could be in three weeks. Murray noted that any possible move to the KHL was out of his hands. All I know is he stays here for us or he goes to London, Murray said. After that we wont be involved. We cant be involved. Weve tried every avenue and weve been shut down at every avenue. We cant send him to the American League, as per the CBA and the agreement with junior hockey and the things they do. Were talking verbal agreements here and stuff thats way out of our hands. The Sabres GM added that he would be in favour of a rule change that might offer an alternative to the mandatory return of underage players to junior. Nothing against junior hockey, I grew up watching it and know a lot of people in the game, Murray said. There are certain players that are beyond that. I dont know if its an exemption, he continued. I was talking to our guys upstairs and maybe they give us 20 games that we could send [Reinhart and Zadorov] down for and then we have to decide in 20 games: Are they going to junior? Or, are they going to play the NHL? But Murray sees why there would be resistance from the teams that own the junior rights to these players. [CHL clubs] are not going to agree to anything like that. They have to protect their franchises and they feel that they sell tickets based on stars coming back. I understand that. Its a dilemma for development and its not me talking about it, its multiple teams talking about it. Its snowballing right now.
