It sure seemed as though the New York Rangers were on their way to an eighth straight win.

Playing at home with an early two-goal lead against a West Coast team on a long road trip, the signs certainly suggested it was going to be another good night for the NHL's hottest team.

Devin Setoguchi scored two of San Jose's six consecutive goals and the Sharks took advantage of backup goalie Steve Valiquette in a 7-3 victory Monday night that snapped the Rangers' seven-game winning streak.

"We showed a little bit of our character," winning goalie Evgeni Nabokov said. "We kept going and the power play came up big for us again. After that, they were a little bit on their heels and we took advantage even more."
