NEWARK Womens Tuukka Rask Jersey , N.J. (AP) The New Jersey Devils have acquired speedy winger Michael Grabner from the New York Rangers in the first trade between the cross-river rivals.New Jersey sends a 2018 second-round draft pick and 20-year-old defensive prospect Yegor Rykov to New York.

He can become an unrestricted free agent after the season.Rykov has skated in 51 games with SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL this season, scoring two goals and adding 12 assists.After acquiring a second-round pick from New Jersey, the Rangers now have eight selections in the June draft, including five in the first three rounds.— NEW YORK (AP) Down by three goals with 6 1/2 minutes left in the third period, the New York Islanders needed a break.Tyler Bertuzzi swung his stick and gave it to them Friday night.The Detroit forward drew a major game misconduct for slashing and the Islanders took full advantage by quickly scoring four times on the power play.

They also had scored 181, third most in the league.”It’s good to have (our offense) in our back pocket,” Bailey said. ”But I think we’re a better team when we’re the ones controlling the pace and making the other team chase the game a little bit.”Barzal became the first rookie in NHL history to have a pair of five-assist games in a season. It was also his third five-point game, the first rookie in 100 years to accomplish that feat.
