The New York Rangers are in a similar situation as they were last series, as they are down 2-0 with two crucial games coming at Madison Square Garden against the Boston Bruins in their second round playoff series and to win goalie Henrik Lundqvist will need to play much better.

The team was dominated 5-2 in the game and now must win Game 3 or they will go down 3-0, which is nearly impossible to overcome, especially the way they are playing. The Rangers got goals from Rick Nash and Ryan Callahan, but it wasn't enough as the team allowed a sick amount of shots at Lundqvist, who gave up more than four goals for the first time in over 150 games.

Boston got a goal for the second straight game from Torey Krug, while Gregory Campbell, Johnny Boychuck, Brad Marchand and Milan Lucic also added scores and once the team took the lead 3-2 they never looked back. The team is using a number of rookies due to injury and so far they have come through.

Krug, one of three rookies pressed into duty on the Bruins' injury-hit blueline, notched his second goal in as many playoff games to open the scoring before Callahan beat Rask on a breakaway to send the teams into the first intermission deadlocked at 1-1. The best-of-seven series now shifts to New York for a pair of contests with Game Three set for Tuesday at Madison Square Garden and Rookie defenseman Torey Krug, Gregory Campbell, Johnny Boychuck, Brad Marchand and Lucic each had a goal for the Bruins while Ryan Callahan and Rick Nash were the only Rangers to beat Tuukka Rask, who was again outstanding in the Boston net facing 37 shots.

Campbell and Nash, with his first of the post-season, traded goals in the second before the Bruins seized control on Boychuk's third of the playoffs. Boston pulled away in the third with Marchand redirecting a goalmouth feed from Patrice Bergeron just 26 seconds into the frame while Lucic completed the rout.

We expect them to come harder than ever," said Bruins forward Milan Lucic, looking ahead to the next game in New York. "We know MSG (Madison Square Garden) is going to be rocking and once again we're going to have to do a good job with good clean breakouts and playing in the offensive zone."
