The New York Rangers are scoring at a prolific pace this season, and could continue to do so against a team theyve dominated.Looking to avoid consecutive home losses for the first time this season, New York meets the Florida Panthers on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.The Rangers (13-5-0) lead the league with 74 goals scored, an average of 4.1 per game. That has them on pace for 357 goals, which would be their first season with at least 300 since 1992-93 and also shatter the franchise record of 321 set in 1991-92.New York has won 12 of the last 15 overall over Florida, including five straight and seven of eight on home ice. Over the last 15 meetings, the Rangers are 10-0-0 when scoring at least three goals.Florida goaltender Roberto Luongo is 8-13-2 with one tie and a 2.90 goals-against average in his career against the Rangers. He turned away 40 shots for his third career shutout of New York in the Panthers 3-0 win on Jan. 2.Backup James Reimer has allowed at least three goals in three of five career starts against New York.The Rangers fell to the lowly Vancouver Canucks on Nov. 8 before embarking on a four-game road trip. After scoring 14 goals in three wins across western Canada, New York fell 4-2 to former coach John Tortorella and the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night.We probably didnt have as much jump, but weve got to play high percentage when were not clicking on all cylinders, Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh told Newsday.New York is 0-4-0 when scoring fewer than three goals in a game. Only one of those losses has occurred at home, where they have been led by right wings Michael Grabner and Rick Nash.Grabner, who scored four goals on the recent road trip, has six goals and two assists at MSG this season. With 11 goals, Grabner is on pace for 50, well above his career high of 34.Six of Nashs seven goals have come on home ice, and he has six goals in his last five games against the Panthers.Coach Alain Vigneault told the Rangers official website that Henrik Lundqvist would start in goal Sunday.Lundqvist, who will play in his 700th NHL game, is 9-5-0 with a 2.30 GAA and one shutout in 2016-17. Hes allowed two goals or fewer in six of his seven starts at MSG this season.Overall, Lundqvist is 22-10-1 with a 1.91 GAA in his career versus the Panthers, and has beaten them in four straight starts and six of his last seven in New York. Also, four of his five career shutouts versus the Panthers have come at MSG.Rookie Pavel Buchnevich is expected to miss his fourth straight game with back spasms, but Vigneault told the teams website that the injury to the 21-year-old may be more than back spasms.Buchnevich has four goals and four assists in 10 games, and is third on the team in points among rookies behind Brady Skjei (11 assists) and Jimmy Vesey (seven goals, four assists).Florida (9-8-1) is wrapping up a four-game road trip and comes in having won three of four after defeating the Ottawa Senators 4-1 on Saturday night behind 39 saves from Luongo, whos 4-0-0 with a 1.47 GAA and .947 save percentage in his last four games.All the credit goes to him and we just tried to hold the fort as much as we can, but weve got to be better as a team. We gave up too many chances as a (defensive) corps. Weve got to clean that up going into New York, Panthers defenseman Jason Demers said Saturday.Jaromir Jagr had a goal and an two assists for the first multi-point game of his 23rd NHL season. Last season, he had 16 such games, helping the Panthers go 13-2-1.In 39 career games as an opponent at MSG, the 44-year-old Jagr has 15 goals and 24 assists.I just want to play every game I can play, Jagr said. Sometimes, it doesnt go your way. Its hard, especially when youre old. Im putting in a lot of work and the results arent there. Thats the toughest thing. You keep believing. Theres a lot of doubters, but you just have to close your ears and believe what got me 25 years.Sundays contest will be defenseman Keith Yandles first game back in New York after his negotiating rights were dealt the Panthers in June. Days later, he signed a six-year contract worth just over $44 million.Yandle was the Rangers top-scoring blueliner with 47 points, including a team-best 42 assists, last season. He has no goals and team-high nine assists for the Panthers in 2016-17.Aleksandr Barkov, who assisted on both Panthers goals in the first period Saturday, did not play in the third because of an undisclosed injury, according to the Panthers website.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- After swimming arguably the greatest race of her young career, Katie Ledecky waited, waited and then waited some more. For more than 11 seconds, she placed her right hand on the wall and bobbed in the water, waiting for the others to arrive.She knew she had finished her 2016 season reaching the last goal she had set for herself -- a world record in the 800-meter freestyle. It was her 13th world record, and it shattered her 8-month-old mark in the event by nearly two seconds. But for the time being, there was no one to celebrate with. Ledecky was simply too good, too dominant. The rest of the field had been left behind. When she touched the wall, nobody else was even on the screen on television.It took 11.38 seconds before the next swimmer arrived -- in this case, Great Britains Jazmin Carlin. The gold was Ledeckys fourth in Rio, completing her sweep of the 200, 400 and 800 freestyle races, capping off one of the greatest performances in Olympic swimming history. She is 19 years old.Some fifteen minutes earlier, another story had unfolded -- with an altogether different ending. In the final individual race of his decorated career, 31-year-old Michael Phelps touched the wall in an unprecedented three-way tie for second in the 100-meter butterfly. And yet in a way, the outcome made perfect sense -- and dovetailed beautifully with Ledeckys blindingly bright future.It was 2002 or 2003 -- Ledecky cant remember -- when she first met Phelps at a swim meet in Maryland. He was the next big thing back then, before he erupted into the global icon he has become today. Ledecky got Phelps autograph that day -- an autograph she says she still has. And here they were on this night, one career coming to an end, another blowing up, in the most positive sense.You would think then that the tears on Friday night would have come from Phelps. Losing the last individual race of his career. Reflecting on all that hes put into the sport. And yet the exact opposite was true. Following his 100 fly loss, Phelps was noticeably content -- perhaps even cheerful, in a strange way.He knew the 21-year-old who beat him for gold. They had met eight years earlier in Singapore, during the Americans pre-Beijing training camp. Phelps, while searching for monkeys, rode in a golf cart with Joseph Schooling, who would go on to train at the Bolles School in Florida and then attend the University of Texas. On Friday night, they would stand next to one another on the medal podium and then sit next to each other in a postrace news conference.Its pretty crazy what can happen in eight years, Schooling said. Its an honor and privilege to even race alongside him.As Schooling spoke, Phelps smiled and nodded. He knew Schoolings success was in some tiny way credited to the seed he helped plant years earlier. As a 15-year-old, Phelps told agent Peter Carlisle he wanted to change the sport of swimming. And on the eve of the final night of Phelps career, the results of that decision could seemingly be seen everywhere.In the past, I probably would have been really, really upset if I lost a race, Phelps said. Im not super happy. Nobody likes to lose. But Im proud of Joe. He swam the best race. And for me, Ive been able to know Joe for a long time and see him turn into the swimmer he is. Im excited to see what more there is to ccome.dddddddddddd.As Phelps fielded question after question in the postrace news conference, he chided reporters.Joe should be getting most of the questions, Phelps said. He just won a gold medal, guys.Schooling shook his head, blushing uncomfortably.Beyond Schooling, there was South Africas Chad le Clos, who swims butterfly because of Phelps and grew up worshiping the American. He and Hungarian Laszlo Cseh were the pair who tied Phelps for silver in the 100 fly.There was 200 backstroke gold medalist Maya DiRado, who Phelps yelled to across the mixed zone in order to give her a great big hug and offer congratulations.And then there was Ledecky, the typically stoic competitor who, uncharacteristically, couldnt get through a brief interview without breaking down in tears, overcome by the emotion of the final chapter in this part of her career. In a couple of weeks, Ledecky will leave her Bethesda, Maryland, home -- and coach Bruce Gemmell -- to head to Stanford University.Its kind of the end of a four-year journey, Ledecky said. Ive had a lot of fun, and I dont know why Im crying. There were nights I would go to bed and think about this day and how much fun Ive had these past four years, and Id start to cry in bed. And I just wanted to make this meet count and have a lot of fun with it.Ledecky did more than that. She will leave Rio as the third American woman with four gold medals in any sport at a single Games. She is only the second woman to win the 200, 400 and 800 freestyle events in a single Olympics. And she extended her streak to 15 straight individual gold medals in the finals of major international meets.What shes doing in the sport is ridiculous, Phelps said. Its insane. She just gets in the water and gives every world record a scare whenever shes in there. Its pretty incredible to watch. This is the first time Ive ever seen her in tears in a race. The first time in my life Ive ever seen true emotion really come out. I think that was really cool to see.They are once-in-a-lifetime talents. But there are two of them. And although Ledecky tried to downplay any talk of a proverbial passing of the torch on Friday night, thats exactly what it was. The most decorated Olympian of all time preparing to hang up his suit for the final time. And the 19-year-old woman just as jaw-droppingly talented showing up to fill that void.We have arguably the two greatest swimmers of all time, said U.S. national team director Frank Busch. We should feel so lucky. Katie can be the face, I dont care. She can step right up.As Ledecky said, I dont know if anybody can ever match or carry the torch that Michael has carried for us the past 16 years, really. And I think collectively as a unit, you see how special this team is this week, and collectively, well try to fill that void.And perhaps the most interesting thing of all, its only the beginning.Stars emerge once in a while, and Katie and Michael are definitely two of them, said Leah Smith, who swam with Ledecky on the 4x200 relay team that won gold. Its pretty crazy. And there is probably somebody working hard right now, seeing the examples they are setting,
