New York Rangers – Vancouver Canucks: 4-3
Buts NYR: Kreider, Chytil, Lafrenière, Zibanejad
Buts VAN: Garland, Podkolzin, Pettersson
K’Andre Miller (0-3-3) et Filip Chytil (1-0-1), 23, each put up standout performances to help Rangers (29-14-8, 66 points) earn their third straight win and move within three points of the Devils (33- 13-4, 70 points) for second place in the Metropolitan Division.
Miller assisted on each of New York’s first three goals to record his first career three-pointer. Miller (23 years, 18 days) became the fifth Rangers defender aged 23 or younger to complete a three-assist performance since 1990/91, Adam Fox (21 years, 319 days on January 2, 2020) being the last to achieve this feat.
Chytil (23 years, 156 days) found the back of the net for the fifth game in a row to equal his career high (also 5 GP in 2018/19). He became only the second player in Rangers history with a multi-goal streak of that length aged 23 or younger, joining Tomas Sandstrom (5 GP in 1984/85 and 1986/87).
Alexis Lafreniere (1-0-1; 21 years, 120 days) and Kaapo Kako (0-1-1; 21 years, 360 days) also found the net, with Rangers picking up six points from players aged 23 or younger.
