11/29/2011 22:17 Rangers beat Pens for third win in row
John Mitchell and Brad Richards scored 90 seconds apart in New York's four-goal second period, and the Rangers held on to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Tuesday for their third consecutive win.
After bouncing around the league with six different teams as a general disappointment, Eminger played very solid, unassuming defense for the Rangers last season and it led to a new contract in the summer. Eminger was the ideal bottom-pairing rearguard, sometimes drawing in and out of the lineup enabling the Rangers to play their younger defensemen when necessary. This season looks to be much the same, as he is likely to play on the third pairing with either Michael Del Zotto or Tim Erixon. (Updated 10/4/11)
