The Story
The New York Rangers won 6-2 against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night in their first game since losing goaltender Igor Shesterkin for the season with a knee injury.
Tye Kartye opened the scoring 27 seconds into the contest, and Jake DeBrusk tied the game for Vancouver at 17:04 of the first period. Kartye then put New York ahead again with his first goal at 2:09 of the second, before he snapped a 2-2 tie at 18:25 of the second period to complete a two-goal performance.
Dylan Garand stopped 19 shots for the Rangers. Spencer Martin dressed as Garand’s backup, and Kevin Lankinen finished with 19 saves for Vancouver.
Alexis Lafreniere and Gabe Perreault added goals for New York after Elias Pettersson scored short-handed at 16:56 of the second to tie the game again. Lafreniere extended the Rangers’ lead to 4-2 on the power play at 1:04 of the third, and Perreault made it 5-2 at 5:57. Cuylle scored again with less than five minutes remaining to complete the scoring.
Shesterkin injured his right knee on Friday night in a loss at Washington. Under new coach Manny Malhotra, the Canucks fell to 2-5-0, after losing 4-1 at New Jersey on Saturday.
