On March 4th, New York Islanders fans held their heads up high, as their team had defeated the New York Rangers 4-3 via shootout. Tonight the Rangers evened things up by taking a 4-1 victory against the Islanders and goalie Wade Dubielewicz, who saved 24 of 27 attempted shots. Starting Isles goalie Rick DiPietro was available for action, but head coach Ted Nolan chose Dubielewicz because of his impressive play of late.
“He’s (Wade Dubielewicz) a hot hand,” Nolan said. “You can second-guess yourself, ifs, ands, buts and everything else. I mean, Dubielewicz has been playing well. Ricky’s had three or four days off. It’s kind of unfair to put him into a situation like this. Now, he’s got two practices, and he’ll run with it from here on in.”

The team had 33 total shots on net.
