NEW YORK -- Michael Grabner wasnt being greedy. He and linemates Kevin Hayes and J.T. Miller were just dominant.Grabner scored three goals, Miller had a goal and two assists, and Hayes added three assists to lead the New York Rangers to a 6-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night.We had a a lot of chances as a line and could, maybe, have had a couple more, Grabner said.Theyre great players, Grabner said of his linemates. They have a lot of skill so I just tried to open up some room for them. Use my speed and it just worked tonight.Rick Nash and Jimmy Vesey also scored to help the Rangers win for the fourth time in five games. Antti Raanta stopped 31 shots.I felt good, Raanta said. I felt like I was seeing the puck (the) whole time and I was in the right position.Nash, Grabner and Vesey scored in a span of 2 minutes, 19 seconds midway through the second period to give the Rangers a 3-0 lead. Miller scored late in the second and Grabner added two more in the third to make it 6-0 with his third career hat trick.We kept coming in waves, Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi said. Line after line, `D pair after `D pair, just kept doing the same thing.Steven Stamkos spoiled Raantas shutout bid with about 3 1/2 minutes remaining, and Ben Bishop finished with 31 saves as the Lightning lost their third straight.Were concerned with the way were playing right now, Bishop said. Its not something we cant fix. Its just about watching the tape and getting better from it; fixing it now. You dont want to stay in this rut.After a scoreless first period in which New York outshot Tampa Bay 16-10, the Rangers scored in a flurry in the second.Nash broke through at 4:45 with his fourth of the season. Nash was sprung for a semi-breakaway by Nick Holdens pass up the middle to start the sequence, and the New York winger snapped a shot which beat Bishop glove side.Grabner increased the lead with a one-timer off Brady Skjeis cross-ice feed as Miller screened Bishop at 6:42. On the play, Miller collided with with Bishop, which prompted Lightning coach Jon Cooper to use his coachs challenge in order to see if there was goaltender interference. However, the video review showed Miller was bumped into Bishop by Valtteri Filppula.I thought the puck was pretty much already in the net by the time he pushed me, Miller said. I didnt think the goalie was going to be able to get over there.Just 22 seconds later, Vesey scored his team-leading fifth of the season to push the advantage to 3-0.Miller extended the Rangers lead with a tap-in with 1:50 left in the period.We put a few away in the second, New York coach Alain Vigneault said. Theres no doubt the speed and the pace was a factor.Grabners breakaway goal midway through the third increased the lead to 5-0, and his tap-in off a pass from Hayes with 5:13 left capped his first hat trick since signing with the Rangers in the offseason. It was also his first since Feb. 13, 2011, while with the Islanders.Breakaway after breakaway after 2-on-1, Cooper said. Not even the best goalies in the world are going to bail you out of that.All of New Yorks goals came at even strength. The Rangers were 0 for 5 on the power play, and Tampa Bay went 1 for 4.Game notes Tampa Bay RW Ryan Callahan made his season debut.

Cheap Air Max UK For Sale . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. Mercurial Geelong midfielder Steven Motlop still has the backing of coach Chris Scott despite his inconsistent AFL season to date.The 25-year-old appeared on the verge of attaining elite status entering his seventh AFL season but has instead been criticised for his uneven performances.However, Scott doesnt believe Motlops position in the side deserves to be seriously questioned just yet.Everyones position is in question if the performances arent there ... what hes been is inconsistent, Scott said.If it had been a long period of poor performance then he wouldnt be in the team.Motlop hasnt managed more than 15 possessions in any of the Cats last three losses - all to teams outside the eight.Hes played some very good footy this year, but what he seems to be for us is a player that when he plays well has a big impact on the result, Scott added.So weve had a couple of poor performances collectively where hes had average games as well. I can tell you thats a lot better position to be in as a player ... you want to be someone who can actually impact games.ddddddddddddEven if that means when you play poorly you have a big impact on the team ... I think that is more a reflection of his importance to the team.Motlop appears a sure thing to take on Sydney in Friday nights blockbuster clash at Simonds Stadium and he could line up with luckless key forward Mitch Clark for the first time this season.Clark has largely impressed in four games back at VFL level and a faultless block of training over the bye has him primed for a return to the big stage.Hes available, Scott said.We just need to make a decision as to whether thats the best thing for the team in the longer term.So weve got eight weeks before we play finals if were good enough and the priority is really making sure that hes at his best towards that period.Clark hasnt played in Geelongs AFL side since he suffered a serious calf injury in round nine last season.
