The New York Rangers have began yet another win streak as they defeated the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 in regulation, and won their second consecutive game. Brett Howden scored his fourth of the year late in the third period, and that goal held up as the game-winner. Here is tonight’s goal breakdown.
Following a dominating opening period by the Vancouver Canucks, they were able to finally break the scoreless tie early in the second period. Just as the penalty expired, Nikolay Goldobin leaped out the penalty box, stole the puck from Neal Pionk and broke in on a partial breakaway.
