Lohud.com, Westchester County on MSNPostgame takeaways: NY Rangers stave off playoff elimination for at least one more dayThe 24-year-old center was reinserted at the expense of rookie forward Brennan Othmann, who joined Gabe Perreault as a surprise scratch Thursday.

The loss also snapped the Islanders’ three-game point streak and put them perilously close to being eliminated from the postseason. The Isles (79 points) are eight points back of the Montreal Canadiens (87 points) for the second wild card spot. An Islanders loss, or a Canadiens win, in the next week would eliminate New York from playoff contention.
The Rangers — one year after the 28 come-from-behind victories — have collected just 15 comebacks this season.
