Kartye and Cuylle score 2 each as Rangers down Canucks 6-2 in first game since losing Shesterkin
Ty Kartye and Will Cuylle netted two goals each for the New York Rangers in their 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night. Dylan Garand made 19 saves as the Rangers secured their fourth straight home win at Madison Square Garden. Alexis Lafreniere and Gabe Perreault added goals for the Rangers, while J.T. Miller and Mika Zibanejad provided crucial assists.
Igor Shesterkin, the Rangers' starting goaltender, suffered a knee injury during a recent loss and is expected to be sidelined for the season. Garand, previously placed on waivers, emerged as the presumptive starter for New York. Kartye opened the scoring at the 18:25 mark of the second period, followed by a tie from Jake DeBrusk for Vancouver just 17:04 later.
Cuylle put the Rangers ahead at 2:09 of the second, but Elias Pettersson tied the contest again for Vancouver at 16:56 of the same period. Kartye sealed the win with his second goal with under five minutes remaining in the game.
