The Rangers had almost killed off a high-sticking penalty to Jay Wells.

"We've had a pretty good roll the last 9 or 10 games," said defenseman Jay Wells.

This came 3:01 after Jay Wells scored his first of the season to cut the Pittsburgh lead to 3-2.

Jay Wells, another injured defenseman, is expected to return soon from a sprained right knee that has sidelined him for the last 25 games.

And Jay Wells has been playing with a sore back, so already we are down to four defensemen.

He was thumped to the ice by Jay Wells early in the game.

"I don't think we can be happy with the tie, to tell the truth," said defenseman Jay Wells.

Jay Wells is out for six to eight weeks with a sprained right knee after a Winnipeg player fell on him.

Meanwhile, Jay Wells will miss another four weeks with a knee injury.

Jay Wells made it 3-0 at 2:57 with a slap shot, through a screen that hit Roussel as it went in.
