Against the sagging New York Rangers, they used stellar goaltending early and six straight goals to do the job.Riley Nash and Zdeno Chara scored first-period goals and Patrice Bergeron added two in the second to help the surging Bruins swamp the Rangers 6-1 on Wednesday night.The Bruins won for the 18th time in their last 23 games, getting 21 saves from backup netminder Anton Khudobin. The Bruins (33-11-8) are just a point behind Atlantic Division-leading Tampa Bay.”In the first period, our goaltender was terrific,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. ”He was the difference tonight. We got a lead going into the second and once that happened, our group thought we would be in good shape.”Tim Schaller’s goal that made it 4-1 at 7:25 of the second period chased Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist and brought boos from the crowd at Madison Square Garden. Lundqvist was replaced by Ondrej Pavelec.”After they scored two in the first, instead of staying aggressive the way I need to be, I became passive,” said Lundqvist, who hasn’t won since Jan. 18. ”When you lose a lot, obviously it’s going to affect you.”The Rangers had won seven straight over the Bruins, including both meetings this season. But New York was no match for the Boston attack on Wednesday.After Rick Nash gave the Rangers an early lead with his 16th goal five minutes into the first period, the Bruins began their relentless barrage. Riley Nash tied it with his eighth of the season at 7:54 with assists to David Backes and Danton Heinen.Lundqvist initially stopped a shot by Backes. But the Bruins forward recovered his rebound Brandin Cooks Jersey Elite , then sent the puck in front to Nash as Rangers defenseman Tony DeAngelo was caught out of position.Chara, the 40-year-old defenseman playing his 20th NHL season, put Boston ahead at 16:09 of the first with his fifth goal of the season and the 193rd of his career.”We were talking we wanted to keep making strong plays and play well defensively,” Chara said. ”Anton made some really good saves for us and we got ahead.”The Bruins extended the lead to 3-1 at 3:47 of the second when Bergeron’s long shot from just inside the blue line skittered past Lundqvist after the goaltender seemed to make a pad save.Schaller extended the lead with his eighth of the season before Bergeron scored his second of the game – this time short-handed – at the 10-minute mark. The goal was Bergeron’s team-leading 24th and came with assists to Chara and Brad Marchand, who returned after serving a five-game suspension for elbowing New Jersey’s Marcus Johansson.”Every line is stepping up for us,” Marchand said. ”It makes us hard to play against.”Sean Kuraly completed the scoring with his fifth goal at 6:14 of the third.Boston is 18-1-4 in their last 23 games and 27-4-4 in its last 35 contests. The Bruins are 10-0-2 in their last 12 road games. They last lost an away game in regulation on Dec. 4 at Nashville.”We want to play up to a certain standard and not worry about what the other team does,” Chara added. ”We just want to focus on us.”The spiraling Rangers have lost four straight and seven of their last eight games. They are 3-10-0 since winning at Arizona on Jan. 6. The Rangers last missed the playoffs in 2010.”There’s no doubt they made us look very bad tonight,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. ”There’s no doubt that in the second period after that third and fourth goal, we fell hard.”NOTES: Lundqvist made his 788th career appearance, tying Gilles Meloche for 17th place on the NHL goalies list. . The Rangers were without injured forward Chris Kreider, Pavel Buchnevich and Jimmy Vesey, as well as defensemen Kevin Shattenkirk and Marc Staal … Boston scratched forward Frank Vatrano and defensemen Paul Postma and Kevan Miller.UP NEXTBruins: Host Buffalo on Saturday night.Rangers: Host Calgary on Friday night.
