Mika Zibanejad led the New York Rangers to a narrow 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, contributing a goal and an assist. Will Cuylle and Kaapo Kakko also shined with a goal and an assist each, while Chris Kreider scored the decisive goal in the third period. Igor Shesterkin made 21 saves, helping the Rangers improve their road record.
