He entered Friday with just eight goals on 97 shots, tied for the 21st most in the league, and a shooting percentage about four points below his career numbers. But with the game on the line, Nash picked an opportune time to score his ninth goal. He and multiple tiple dangerous opportunities to score in the first period but was unable to finish. "In the first period, he had three great looks," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "He wasn't able to hit the net and bury it. But at the right time, he came up real big for us.
