Brayden Schenn spoiled Lundqvist's shutout bid with 9.7 seconds left in the third period with his 16th goal of the season on the power play. ''What matters to me is that we win games,'' said Lundqvist, who improved to 28-14-4 this season. http://www.shopjaguarsnfljersey.com/Josh-Scobee-Jersey''We were being aggressive and played a strong game.'' Steve Mason finished with 27 saves as the Flyers lost for the fifth time in six games. Stepan's first score, at John Hannah Jersey10:34 of the third, was his 100th career goal. His second made it 3-0 with 6:06 remaining when he rifled his 12th goal of the season past Mason from the left circle. ''We worked hard tonight,'' said Stepan, who scored for the second straight game after not scoring in eight contests. ''We just have to continue to work at that.'' Mats Zuccarello got his second assist of the game http://www.patriotsofficialonlinesshop.com/julian-edelman-jersey_c-421.htmlon the play. Brassard's goal at 5:08 of the opening period came on a wraparound against Mason with assists to Keith Yandle and Dan Girardi. Brassard tied a career high - set last season - with his 19th goal and also tied Zuccarello for the team lead. The game was tense early as Rangers defenseman Dylan McIlrath and the Flyers' Wayne Simmonds fought 39 seconds into the game. The Rangers made it known they would avenge a punch by Simmonds to the jaw of Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh when the teams met in Philadelphia on Feb. 6. McDonagh has been out of action since with a concussion, missing four games so far. The rookie McIlrath was clear about his role following the game.
