Game 36: Chicago 0 at New York 3

Andy Bathgate scored his fourth goal of the season, all on the power play, which proved to be the only marker New York Rangers needed in a 3-0 whitewashing of last-place Chicago Black Hawks at Madison Square Garden.

It was the second time this season that Rangers (3-6-3) shutout Black Hawks by the same score in New York.

The win gives Rangers a chance to tie Detroit for the fourth and final playoff spot, when the teams meet at Olympia Stadium.

Rangers scored twice in the second period as Black Hawks (2-9-1), with the worst offense in the league, failed to muster much of an attack, registering just 20 shots on goal.

Perhaps showing frustration, with less than two minutes to go in the game, Chicago's Ian Cushenan got into a fight with Dean Prentice.
