CHICAGO -- New York Rangers coach Alain Vigneault felt so good about Antti Raantas return to Chicago that he kept Henrik Lundqvist on the bench for the second straight night.Turned out quite well for Vigneault and company.Raanta made 26 saves against his former team, Nick Holden scored 55 seconds into overtime and the Rangers blanked the Blackhawks 1-0 on Friday.It was great to come here and play, Raanta said. A little nervous, but it was a good thing it ended like this.Derek Stepan passed from the boards to a streaking Holden in the middle of the ice, and he beat Scott Darling on the stick side for his fourth goal of the season. Darling was going for his second straight shutout while subbing for injured starter Corey Crawford, but he had to settle for a season-high 36 stops in another solid performance.Raantas played great, made some big saves, Darling said. I wish I could redo that one in overtime.Raanta made his NHL debut with Chicago in 2013 and was teammates with Darling for one season before he was traded to New York. He improved to 15-0-3 in 20 career appearances at the United Center.The 27-year-old Raanta had 17 saves in Thursdays 2-1 victory at Winnipeg, and Vigneault opted to give him a second straight start because of his recent play and his success in Chicago.Any team in this league, the way it is now, needs two goaltenders to be able to have success, Vigneault said, and were very fortunate that we have two goaltenders that can do a good job for us.Antti came up real big back to back and its good for our team and very good for him also.Marian Hossa appeared to have the go-ahead goal for the Blackhawks when he shot it between the legs of Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh and Raanta 6 minutes into the third. But Vigneault challenged the play and it was waived off when a replay review showed Hossa was offside.Thats a tough one. I wasnt even noticing it was close to offside, but with todays technology and this new rule, its a game of inches, Hossa said. They created this new rule and we have to deal with it, but its frustrating, because the league wants to increase scoring and now I think more goals are disallowed because of this one.The Blackhawks played without defenseman Brent Seabrook, who was sidelined by an upper-body injury. Captain Jonathan Toews missed his eighth straight game with an upper-body injury, and Crawford missed his fourth in a row after he had an emergency appendectomy last weekend.New York forward Rick Nash was sidelined for the second straight game by an upper-body injury. Nash is tied for second on the Rangers with 11 goals.While each team was missing some star power due to injuries, Raanta and Darling put on quite a show.Raanta made a great glove save on Patrick Kanes one-timer early in the first and had a dazzling stop on Richard Paniks wide-open look in the middle in the second. The 6-foot-6 Darling made a couple terrific saves in rapid succession in the second, denying Stepan on the doorstep before getting over to knock away Jesper Fasts prime opportunity on a 2-on-1.Raanta got some help in the third when Mats Zuccarello swept a loose puck away from the goal line with 2:20 left.Game notesIt was Raantas first shutout of the season and No. 5 for his career. ... New York became the first NHL team with 100 goals this season. ... Rangers F Jimmy Vesey returned to the lineup after missing a game with an upper-body injury. Nash, D Adam Clendening and RW Josh Jooris were scratched. ... The Blackhawks are 6-2-2 against the Eastern Conference this season. ...

Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. Leon Gray Jersey .

But theyll come up against a different City side in the Capital One Cup final at Wembley on Sunday. Jamie Redknapp joins Ed Chamberlin to preview the Capital One Cup final between Liverpool and Manchester City In November, Vincent Kompany didnt play. David Silva didnt play. Fernandinho didnt come on until half-time, when City were 3-0 down. Sergio Aguero was only half-fit, and substituted after 66 minutes. Now, this City side, in personnel at least, are starting to represent their best line-up again - albeit with the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, who was one of their best players in the Liverpool defeat.Of course, you dont have to be a football expert to realise the importance of Kompanys return. Theyve won 67 per cent of their games with him in the team. That figure drops to 59 per cent when he has been missing. City have kept seven clean sheets from nine Premier League games when he has started and managed just four in the 17 he has missed.If Kompany had been fit for the whole season, Man City would have been comfortably clear at the top of the Premier League. City have also got Silva starting to ease his way back into his game after injury. Aguero is fully fit now and looks incredible. Fernandinhos back. You look at the spine of that team and think, if they go on a long run - which theyre more than capable of doing - you cant really rule them out of anything this season.My biggest worry with City is they just go out and play, without worrying about the opposition. It often seems as though theres no defensive organisation or thought to stopping the other team from playing. Weve got better players, well beat you. But its not always like that in football. Philippe Coutinho ran the show at Man City in November, says Jamie Philippe Coutinho, in particular, is one player theyll have to have a plan for on Sunday.If youre Fernandinho or Yaya Toure, how are you going to stop him? He was a major problem for City at the Etihad, where they couldnt live with him. He ran the game. Key Battle: Aguero v Sturridge Which striker will deliver the Capital One Cup? Now Daniel Sturridge is back in the Liverpool team, too - a player who is always a threat - and he and Coutinho have a great understanding between them. City cant afford to let them combine like they can.ddddddddddddOf course, the same goes for Liverpool - they need a plan to stop Citys main man, Silva. Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho have a great understanding between them. Man City cant afford to let them to combine like they can. Jamie Redknapp The Liverpool midfield have to find a way to hurry him up, stop him from playing at his pace and delivering those passes to Aguero. If they can do that, theyll stand a far better chance. But if Silva dominates the game, keeps finding pockets of space, drifting around the pitch, playing under no pressure, he can be the difference.Its going to be fascinating to see how the two teams deal with the other sides threats. Can Liverpool keep David Silva quiet? Overall, Im expecting an even but exciting game - and one certainly well worth watching.Of course, Klopp will be eager to pick up his first piece of silverware in England - and what a great moment lifting the trophy would be for him in his first season at Liverpool. Winning cup competitions is what Liverpools tradition has been built on and something the fans are desperate for. Jurgen Klopp and Manuel Pellegrini will both be desperate to lift the trophy As for Pellegrini, with this his last season at City, hell be looking to go out on a high, too, and win this competition for the second time in three years.Then there will be the battles all over the park - on top of Coutinho and Silvas clashes with the opposition midfield, Kompany versus Sturridge is going to be box office.And Raheem Sterling is also an intriguing sub-plot. Im sure images of him will be on the back pages of newspapers and at the top of websites on Monday regardless of the outcome - whether its him lifting the trophy or looking dejected while Liverpool fans celebrate. Sterling v Liverpool Paul Merson, Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson on whether Sterling can sink old club Liverpool He said he wanted to leave Anfield to win trophies and on Sunday he has the opportunity to do just that. Man City paid £49m for Sterling and these are the occasions when they need him to show up. If Liverpool win, hell undoubtedly get a lot of stick from their fans - but he has made his bed and he has to lie in it.But who will win? Im finding it really tough to call and reckon it could even be a draw in normal time. Then, once it gets to extra-time and penalties, anything could happen. Its one not to miss.
