Kaapo Kakko's late power-play goal helped the New York Rangers end a five-game losing streak, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-3. Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck, and Mika Zibanejad also contributed goals for the Rangers, who secured their first victory since mid-November.

Despite trailing 3-1, Montreal made a comeback with goals from Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki, but Trocheck's last-minute goal sealed the win for New York. The Rangers celebrated their 1,700th home victory.
