The Rangers had lost two straight since the All-Star game, mustering only one goal in the process, but Nash and Dominic Moore scored in the first period, and Chris Kreider and Dan Boyle added insurance tallies 21 seconds apart in the third.
Lundqvist got quite a scare when a rising shot by Brad Malone got to him as Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh was trying to knock down the puck.
