Gabe Perreault, a 20-year-old rookie from the Rangers, recorded his first career hat trick in a 4-1 win over the Red Wings at Madison Square Garden. The win was the team's fourth win in the past five games and marked the end of a season that will see one of the Rangers' worst home records in the franchise's 100-year history. Despite appearing in only 45 games this season, he has been praised by his teammates and coaches for his impressive performance. Since March 2, the Rangers have recorded 17 goals and a total of 38 points, leading the league in that period.
