The Jackets played well against a very good Rangers team on Saturday night. The Rangers had two goals called back due to being offside, and the Jackets had one called back because it didn't cross the line, it was a wacky game but the CBJ was able to hold off New York. It was a game of momentum shifts and the Jackets held it for about two periods, and that was enough to pull off the win.
