The New York Rangers snapped a four-game losing streak by defeating the Boston Bruins 2-1 at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night. Mika Zibanejad and Brett Berard each scored in the first period, while Jonathan Quick made 32 saves, marking his 399th career victory. This win was significant for the Rangers, as it was their first home victory since December 6.

Zibanejad opened the scoring with his seventh goal of the season, followed by Berard extending the lead to 2-0. The Bruins managed to get on the board with a goal from Elias Lindholm in the second period, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Rangers' early advantage. Jeremy Swayman, the Bruins' goaltender, recorded 25 saves in the loss.
