NEW YORK – Jaromir Jagr assisted on New York’s three power-play goals in the first period as the Rangers busted out with the man advantage and handed the Washington Capitals their first loss of the season, 3-1 Friday night.

In what looked like a mismatch, the Rangers brought in an anemic power-play unit that had failed in all 15 chances over the season’s first three games.

Washington hadn’t allowed a power-play goal in 12 short-handed situations while jumping to a 3-0 start.

Blues 4, Avalanche 1

ST. LOUIS – Manny Legace gets up emotionally every time he faces the Colorado Avalanche and it shows in his record.

DALLAS – Matthew Lombardi scored twice, including the overtime winner, and the Calgary Flames rallied to beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 Friday night for their first victory of the season.
