Kartye and Cuylle score 2 each as Rangers down Canucks 6-2 in first game since losing Shesterkin

The New York Rangers secured a hard-fought 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks in their first game since star goaltender Igor Shesterkin suffered a season-ending lower-body injury. Kartye and Cuylle led the scoring charge for the Rangers, each recording two goals in the win, while the team’s goaltending situation remains precarious following Shesterkin’s absence.

With backup Joonas Korpisalo also sidelined, the Rangers are now relying on younger netminders to stabilize their playoff hopes after a strong start to the season was derailed by the injury blow. The loss marks the end of a four-game winning streak for the Rangers, who fell to the Washington Capitals just days earlier before turning to Madison Square Garden for Sunday’s matchup against the Canucks.
