NEW YORK — A game against the out-of-it Vancouver Canucks, with former Islander Anthony Beauvillier in the lineup, looked like a great opportunity for the Rangers to pick up two easy points Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Ultimately, the Rangers did get the two points they were looking for, but probably made it a little closer than it needed to be, jumping out to an early lead and then effectively keeping the Canucks at bay in the third period to close out a 4-3 victory.
K'Andre Miller had a career-high three assists in the Rangers' third straight win and fourth in the last five (4-0-1).
