New York Rangers dominate Tampa Bay Lightning

Rick Nash registered two goals and one assist as the New York Rangers posted a 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning Friday night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Nash totaled a career-high 42 goals during the regular season but scored just two goals in the first 15 games this postseason. His breakout performance and a return-to-form effort from Henrik Lundqvist has the Rangers returning home with the series tied at two games apiece.
