Rangers lose second game in two days, fall to Canucks at the Garden

NEW YORK — Rangers fans heading to the Garden for Sunday night’s game against Vancouver didn’t get to see Igor Shesterkin. Coach Gerard Gallant decided to dust off Alexandar Georgiev in goal for his first start since Jan. 27.

But the fans got to see a pretty good Shesterkin impersonation. Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko stopped 31 shots – many of the point-blank, how-did-he-do-that, game-changing variety – as the Rangers lost their second game in two days, 5-2.

Georgiev, who watched Shesterkin start the previous eight games, made 29 saves. The Rangers fell behind 4-0 before scoring twice in the third period.
