"It's a brand new ball game now," New York's Rod Gilbert said Thursday night after the Rangers scored on three consecutive power plays in the first period and went on to a 5-2 victory to pull to 2-1 in the best- of-seven series. Spencer to try Canadian play "I think we beat them good," said Gilbert, who scored two goals as the Rangers snapped Boston's nine-game playoff winning streak. "There's no doubt about it' 1 The Bruins, who scored 74 power play goals during the regular season, humbled New York's extra man attack with a pair of short-handed tallies in a 6-5 first game victory. Then Boston won the second game 2-1 on a pair of power play tallies.

That got us off and running. "We got a real bad start," Johnson said.

BY SIGNING the contract, which has an option clause, with' financing terms were not revealed, Spencer has forfeited his right to play in the North- South All-Star game at Canton's Faweett stadium Aug. 11.
