Rangers’ top line shows off growing chemistry in thrilling win over Canucks
NY Post
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.
Coming off an extremely humdrum and low-event matchup in Seattle, the Rangers were entrenched in an abundance of action Tuesday night in an evenly matched contest against the Canucks that saw the visitors power through to a 4-3 victory.
It was an energetic game, featuring some entertaining hockey, and the Blueshirts came out on the winning end to improve their away record to 7-1-0.
“I thought as a team, we played really well,” Will Cuylle said after notching his fourth multipoint game of the season with a goal and an assist, which tied the 22-year-old with Artemi Panarin for the most five-on-five points on the team. “The game was close, but I thought for the majority of the game we were controlling the play, were getting lots of chances, couple bounces here and there.”
After the two teams continued trading off goals in the middle frame to carry a 3-3 score into the third period, the Rangers broke it open at the 10:43 mark on a goal from Chris Kreider.
The chemistry between Kreider, Mika Zibanejad and Reilly Smith has steadily come along, with this game-winning play serving as the latest example.
The Rangers are 11-4-1, fifth overall in the NHL with a .719 points percentage that equates to a 118-point season that would break the franchise record of 114 points established last season.
