Newsmakers in the NHL is a weekday morning attempt to clear yesterday's rebounds and look to the day ahead.Thrashers 5, Rangers 4: When you're fighting for playoff position, blowing 4-1 leads to the Atlanta Thrashers probably isn't the best thing for a team to do. That's exactly what the New York Rangers did on Thursday night, as they watched a 4-1 lead late in the second period turn into a 5-4 shootout loss in Atlanta. The come-from-ahead loss prompted goalie Steve Valiquette to ask the question: "Where is our killer instinct when we're playing someone lower in the standings?"
Todd White scored the game-tying goal midway through the third period for Atlanta, and then scored the only goal in a six-round shootout to complete the comeback.
Blue Jackets 5, Flames 0: Calgary gets shutout in back-to-back nights, dropping a 5-0 decision in Columbus after losing 2-0 in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Steve Mason stopped all 33 shots he faced to record his league-leading 10th shutout of the season, while Rick Nash and Kristian Huselius each registered four assists. All of that happened when the two teams weren't fighting in a steel cage match.
