GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) Marian Gaborik limped off the ice during practice Tuesday after the New York Rangers' leading scorer was cut on the right knee by the skate of goalie Henrik Lundqvist in a collision.

Gaborik skated in on Lundqvist during a breakaway drill and tried to jump over his teammate's outstretched leg when contact was made. The right wing, who has a team-high 35 goals and 69 points, fell to the ice and stayed down for a few moments.
