cond period. And their penalty killing shut down all four Capitals power plays.Callahan, of course, was at the center of it all. He scored the Rangers' second goal -- his third in two games -- and put a team-best six shots on net. He also threw five hits and blocked two shots in 22:06 of ice time, most among the team's forwards.WHAT ABOUT THE OLYMPICS?The United States won't announce the team it sends to Russia for the 2014 Sochi Olympics until Jan. 1, 2014, but there's a strong chance New York Rangers captain Ryan Callahan is going to be on the team. Callahan helped the U.S. win the silver medal in Vancouver in 2010, and during a USA Hockey Olympic orientation camp this summer David Poile, who will serve as the general manager of the team, stated Callahan would be part of the squad's leadership group. But with a broken left thumb sustained blocking a shot late in the Rangers' 2-0 win against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday, Callahan is expected to miss 3-4 weeks of action.If he's out three weeks, he would miss eight games and return Nov. 6 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. A four-week absence would keep him out of 12 games and set his return for Nov. 16 against the Montreal Canadiens.Even if Callahan misses the full four weeks, that would give him 19 games between Nov. 16 and the NHL's holiday break to finalize his spot on the Olympic roster. Patrick Kane and Bobby Ryan most likely were going to earn the right-wing spot on the top two lines, leaving Callahan a third-line spot. There are a few right wings who might put up impressive offensive numbers during Callahan's absence -- T.J. Oshie of the St. Louis Blues,Mark Messier Jersey, Kyle Okposo of the New York Islanders and Blake Wheeler of the Winnipeg Jets chief among them -- but none could match the skill set required to play what will be a checking-line role against some of the most talented offensive players in the world.The injury will keep Callahan out of regular-season action,Anze Kopitar Authentic Black Jersey, but his spot on the Olympic team doesn't figure to be in much jeopardy-- Adam KimelmanWhere the Rangers go next will be interesting to watch. The team on Thursday recalled Darroll Powe from their American Hockey League team,Sidney Crosby Jersey, the Hartford Wolf Pack, to take Callahan's spot on the roster, rather than 2009 first-round pick Chris Kreider.Powe can do the all the little details of the game that Callahan can, but won't provide much offense. Kreider won't be the first choice to dive in front of a one-timer, but his offensive skills are something the Rangers certainly could use. It wasn't that long ago he went directly from being a point-per-game scorer at Boston College to a key performer for the Rangers in the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs, scoring five goals, including a pair of game-winners, in 18 games.Kreider never reached that level last season,http://www.russellwilsonsuperbowljerseyshop.com, with two goals in 23 regular-season games, but he has two power-play goals and three points in four AHL games this season. On a team struggling for offense, the 22-year-old might have been the more useful call-up.However, the choice of Powe says exactly what kind of team Vigneault and general manager Glen Sather think they have. In other words, there's enough offense currently on the roster to make up for what Callahan provided. And if you look at the Rangers' top forwards, in theory they're right.Brad Richards has rebounded nicely from where he ended last season, with four goals and seven points in six games. But the rest of the team has combined for seven goals, and that includes the three from Callahan. Derek Stepan and Derrick Brassard have combined for zero goals, and Nash had yet to score a goal prior to his injury. In fact, the Rangers have goals from as many defensemen (Ryan McDonagh, Marc Staal, John Moore) as they do from forwards (Richards, Callahan, Derek Dorsett).One solution to the offensive woes could come from another AHL call-up, forward J.T. Miller. Recalled Tuesday, he didn't have a shot in 10:12 of ice time against the Capitals. However, he was leading Hartford with four goals in three games when he was called up, and showed in 26 games last season he c
