THREE-TEAM TRADE

SUCCESSFUL HOMECOMING

Rangers goalie Mike Dunham faced Nashville for the first time since being traded to New York on Dec. 12 and made 28 saves in a 4-2 victory Thursday night. One of his saves came on a first-period penalty shot by Rem Murray, who was one of three players taken by Nashville in the swap.
