Steve Prohm called the win the most complete game on both

NEW YORK -- Rick Nash came up big in the third period for the New York Rangers.Nash tied the score with a highlight-reel goal in the opening minute of the third and then set up Jimmy Veseys winner later in the period to rally the Rangers from two goals down for a 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.After cutting a 2-0 first-period deficit in half in the second, Nash tied it 24 seconds into the third as he raced up ice, breezed past two Hurricanes defenders and stuck a backhander off the crossbar and in to tie it.Then, with 5:12 remaining in regulation and the Rangers on a power play, Nash slipped the puck under Carolina goalie Cam Ward across the front of the goal to Vesey, and the rookie forward converted with the go-ahead score.I think when youre a leader and youre expected to be one of the top players, you try to do that every night, Nash said.

Frustrating ending here.On the tiebreaking goal, the Rangers had the man-advantage because Hurricanes defenseman Ron Hainsey was serving a double-minor for hooking and unsportsmanlike conduct. Vesey converted 95 seconds into the four-minute power play.Youre going to get calls and youre going to get calls against you, Stalberg continued. It is what it is. Were not happy about it, but we should find a way to kill it off.Stalberg got the Blue Jackets on the scoreboard 5:22 into the first period as he fired a wrist shot between Lundqvists legs.Stalberg made it 2-0 with 7:05 left in the period. After Rangers defenseman Kevin Klein turned the puck over, Jay McClement shot the loose puck toward the net and Stalberg knocked in the rebound for his sixth of the season and fourth in five games.Holden cut the deficit in half at 9:13 of the second as he elevated a wrist shot over Wards outstretched arm for his third of the season. Holden has three goals and seven assists in the last 16 games.We didnt start off the game the way we wanted, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said after his 270th game with the team, passing Colin Campbell for sole possession of ninth place on the franchises all-time list. You get behind the 8-ball against a hardworking team that can check real well, you need some people to come out and take charge.In recent games, the Rangers have struggled to play with the speed and skill that propelled them to the top of the standings through the first quarter of the season. However, that changed in the second period.I think the second period we started to get things going, playing with speed and getting possession, holding on to pucks down low in their end, Vesey said.
