Vladimir Tarasenko scores early in Rangers debut on 'crazy day'

NEW YORK -- Vladimir Tarasenko was still caught in the whirlwind of being traded for the first time when he put an emphatic stamp on his first game with the New York Rangers.

The 31-year-old Russian forward scored early in his New York debut, Kaapo Kakko and Vincent Trocheck each had a goal and an assist, and the Rangers beat the Seattle Kraken 6-3 on Friday night for their fourth straight win.

"I don't think I've ever experienced this in my life. It's my first time getting traded in the NHL, like I spent 11 years in one city,″ Tarasenko said.
