San Jose, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Chris Kreider tallied a goal and an assist as the New York Rangers capped a successful California road trip with a 3-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday. Martin St. Louis and Rick Nash also lit the lamp, Derek Stepan supplied two assists and Henrik Lundqvist made 30 saves for the Rangers, who started the trip out with a 4-1 win over Anaheim on Wednesday and topped the Kings 4-3 in a Stanley Cup rematch on Thursday. New York has won five straight games and 13 of its last 14 games. It is the teams best 14-game stretch since Jan. 7 to Feb. 10, 1973 (14-0-1). Melker Karlsson supplied San Joses lone marker to extend his goal streak to five games and Antti Niemi allowed two goals on 31 shots in defeat. The Rangers opened the scoring at 10:40 of the first period. Kreider swatted the puck to St. Louis off a faceoff at the left circle and St. Louis beat Niemi with a quick snap shot. Kreider got on the board less than five minutes later as he tapped home the rebound of Dan Girardis shot from the right circle for a 2-0 lead. Neither team lit the lamp in the middle stanza as the Rangers outshot the Sharks 11-9 in the frame. Less than five minutes into the third, Niemi extended his arm to deny Mats Zucarello at the goal line. The play was reviewed to determine if the puck crossed the line, but after a prolonged look at the play, it was ruled that there was inconclusive evidence to overturn the call. Lundqvist fought off James Sheppards shot with a shoulder stop, but Karlsson was there to deposit the rebound for a power-play goal, making it a 2-1 game with 12:46 to play. The Sharks pulled Niemi with over a minute to play, and Nash stick handled through a maze of San Jose players for the game-sealing goal.

You embrace it. Im always somewhat appreciative what hes been a part of, a big piece, and kind of built and now the opportunity to join that group. We all know what a job hes done, what hes meant in the Tampa Bay community. Hes moved on but you still value and respect everything hes done.Maddon exercised an opt-out clause in his contract on Oct. 24 and was hired as the Chicago Cubs manager a week later.Cash, who turned 37 on Saturday, is the youngest active manager in the majors.Cash was a catcher for parts of eight big league seasons, including a brief stint with Tampa Bay in 2008. He was Clevelands bullpen coach the last two seasons under Terry Francona. Cash played for the Red Sox for parts of three seasons while Francona was their manager.He hopes to talk to other managers this week about what to expect.Id be open to hear anything, any opinion, he said. I think I have somewhat of a perspective but youre always willing to take more and learn more.Matt Silverman, the president of baseball operations, said the Rays are stable enough to take the risk with someone with no managerial experience.There certainly is risk, Silverman said. We talked about it. It was one of the questions that came up over and over again in the interview process. The risk of the first-time manager, the games speeding up, doing things ffor the first time, while we expect to compete.ddddddddddddIts different if we were rebuilding. Its different if this were the 2005 Devil Rays. Its not. We have a club that can compete for a playoff spot. We recognize that risk and felt good about taking on an inexperienced manager, because of Kevins personality, because of his experience, and because of the coaching staff and clubhouse that we have in place.But he does get to forge his own path here. Hes not bound by constraints. He has to come in and put his mark on things, knowing that we have a really good situation already.Tampa Bay went 754-705 in nine seasons under Maddon. It made the playoffs four times, won two AL East championships and the 2008 AL pennant — all while operating under the constraints of one of baseballs lowest payrolls.The Rays finished 77-85 in 2014, ending a stretch of six consecutive winning seasons. Maddon was under contract through 2015, but exercised an option to leave when talks on a new deal broke down.Cash, a Tampa native, said the text messages and phone calls of congratulations are still coming in.I get a text message and a picture about every 30 minutes from my mom where theres something on the billboard at the high school, congratulations, he said. Saturday, the 6th, my birthday, I think my mom cried from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., good tears.So its been an exciting time. Its probably more beneficial that she was there and got to be a part of it kind of by herself, a lot of attention. So good for her and the rest of the family thats been down there.Cash still has to hire a bench coach and familiarize himself with the roster. Nothing too heavy, yet, like figuring out whos batting leadoff.Im trying to get everyones names right now, he said with a laugh.
