Rick Nash scored two of New York's three first-period goals as the surging Rangers beat the sliding Washington Capitals 4-1 Sunday night. Nash now has a team-high 14 goals. New York, 11-3-1 in its last 15 games, improved to 12-11-3 at home. The Rangers also got goals from Derek Stepan and Ryan Callahan, the ninth of the season for both players. Dan Girardi had two assists for the Rangers and now has 11 on the season. Washington dropped its fifth straight (0-3-2) and completed a winless three-game trip against Metropolitan Division foes.

Rick Nash scored a goal in the Rangers' 4-1 win on Saturday. Nash now has five goals in his last seven games. This has been a disappointing season for him so far, but we wouldn't be surprised if Nash finishes the 2013-14 campaign on a high note.

Rick Nash has potted four goals in his last five games. Coach Alain Vigneault said that the biggest difference in Nash's game now is he spending more time around the crease. "I feel like my chances have been there, they just hadn't been going in," Nash said. "Lately they have been. You definitely gain more confidence with the pucks going in." He has recorded 11 goals and 20 points in 31 games this season, but it looks like his play is turning the corner.

Rick Nash netted the game-winning goal Friday night versus Dallas at the 18:02 mark of the third period. He has three goals in his past three games and 10 on the year now. It hasn't been a productive season for Nash, who has 19 points in 29 contests, but perhaps being named to Team Canada earlier this week will help his confidence.

Rick Nash potted a pair of power play goals for the Rangers, but it wasn't enough as the Blue Jackets prevailed in a shootout Monday by a score of 4-3. Nash had been ice cold entering this contest with just one goal in his past 11 games, causing many to believe he could be left off Team Canada when its roster is announced Tuesday. Brian Boyle scored the other Rangers goal in the defeat.

Rick Nash netted his seventh goal of the 2013-14 season Sunday night. He opened the scoring in a 4-3 win against Tampa Bay to end his seven-game goalless drought. Nash currently has 15 points in 23 games this year and he remains a strong fantasy contributor.

Rick Nash will play against the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first time on Thursday. The Rangers and Blue Jackets faced off on Nov. 7, but Nash was sidelined due to a concussion. All the same, he's downplaying his first match against the team that drafted him. "I think it's overshadowed by what we're worried about right now," Nash said. "We're worried about winning games and getting two points and kind of ending this losing streak. It'll be fun, but I think I only know one guy, maybe two or three guys that I played with. It's a totally different team. More importantly we have to win games here. We're worried about the Rangers and not other things." The 15-16-1 Rangers are looking to end a three-game losing streak. Even still, they have a two-point edge over Columbus.

New York Rangers winger Rick Nash collected his 600th career point in his 733rd career regular season game on Tuesday. It was the lone goal in the Rangers' 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators, so it probably wasn't all that festive of an occasion for the star forward.

Rick Nash failed to record a point for the second straight game Monday as the Rangers dropped a 5-0 decision to Tampa Bay. Nash has scored one goal in four games since his return from injury and has shown a bit of rust, which is to be expected. The fact he has registered 16 shots in that span is an encouraging sign for his fantasy owners.

Rick Nash scored a goal in the Rangers' 3-2 win over Dallas on Thursday. It was Nash's first goal since returning on Tuesday from a concussion. He ended up logging just 15:34 minutes against the Stars, but his playing time should increase as he shakes off the rust.
