With the crazy up-and-down performances the Rangers have turned in of late, coach David Quinn was asked after the morning skate which version of the Blueshirts he expected to show up for Sunday’s game against the Islanders.

"That's a good question,’’ Quinn said. "I'm fully anticipating seeing the Ranger team that you saw (Friday) night and hopefully a little bit better.’’

What Quinn got was some up-and-down play within the game.
