03/27/2012 22:44 Rangers beat Wild with late goal
Ruslan Fedotenko's go-ahead goal in the third period gave the New York Rangers a 3-2 victory on Tuesday over the Minnesota Wild and some more space in the tightened Eastern Conference playoff race.
Just one day after signing a three-year contract with the Sharks, Setoguchi was dealt to the Wild along with prospect Charlie Coyle and the 28th overall draft pick of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft Zack Phillips. Setoguchi is aggressive, which is a nice complement to his dodging speed and hockey smarts. Certainly it's rare for a 24-year-old forward to have already turned in a 65-point season Setoguchi had 31 goals and 34 assists in 2008-09 -- but week-to-week inconsistency has prevented him from taking another big leap forward at the NHL level. Also, Setoguchi no longer will be a part of a Sharks team that saw six forwards post 50-plus points last season, though he will be reunited with sniper Dany Heatley. It's shaping up to a boom or bust season for the enigmatic winger. (Updated 10/4/11)
