Henrik Lundqvist made 37 saves in his first start in four games, and Mats Zuccarello had a goal and two assists in the Rangers' 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night.

Rick Nash, Chris Kreider and Benoit Pouliot also scored for the Rangers, who had three power-play goals. Ryan McDonagh and Derick Brassard had two assists each.

The Rangers went up 4-2 on second-period power-play goals by Kreider and Pouliot.
Kreider beat Anders Lindback with a backhander at 4:35, and Pouliot extended his point streak to seven games with an in-close redirection 3:16 later.
Tampa Bay pulled within 4-3 on Filppula's tip-in 8:14 into the third. It was one of 16 shots the Lightning had on Lundqvist during the period.
