Rangers Defeat Canucks 4-3 with Goals from Zibanejad, Kreider, Cuylle, and Kakko

Wednesday, November 20th, 2024

Mika Zibanejad played a pivotal role in the New York Rangers' 4-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. He contributed with one goal and one assist, and teammates Will Cuylle, Kaapo Kakko, and Chris Kreider also scored for the Rangers.

Adam Fox added two assists, and Igor Shesterkin made 21 saves, helping New York enhance their impressive road record to 7-1-0. The Canucks received goals from Quinn Hughes, Kiefer Sherwood, and Conor Garland, while Arturs Silovs made 29 saves.

Earlier on Tuesday, Vancouver disclosed that star center J.T. Miller would be on an indefinite leave for personal reasons.

Artemi Panarin's streak of earning points over the last seven games came to a halt for the Rangers. The Canucks depended on their roster's depth in light of injuries to players such as Miller, Thatcher Demko, Brock Boeser, and Derek Forbort.

Chris Kreider sealed the victory by scoring the decisive goal 10:43 into the last period, with an assist from Zibanejad. The Rangers excelled in their penalty defense by successfully killing all three Canucks power plays, showcasing their second-ranked penalty killing unit.

Looking ahead, the Rangers are set to play against the Calgary Flames on Thursday, whereas the Canucks begin a six-game road trip starting in Ottawa on Saturday.
