RW Marian Gaborik accounted for the lone goal for the Rangers' top line -- with Brad Richards and Carl Hagelin -- in the six-game series loss to the Devils in the Eastern Conference finals. And Gaborik's goal was a weird bank shot from the behind the net following a blunder by Devils goalie Martin Brodeur in Game 5.
"It was a great run, but every experienced guy and young guy can learn a lesson from this," Gaborik said. "Every chance we get, we have to take advantage of it and we didn't do that in this series."

Gaborik tied the game at three goals apiece only 17 seconds into the third period Wednesday night, but the Devils scored the next two goals to take a 5-3 win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Recommendation: It was Gaborik's first point of the Eastern Conference Finals as he entered Wednesday's game pointless in four straight games. He'll need to be much better in Game 6 if the Rangers hope to extend the series to seven games.
