Thats what (the Rangers) are good at, theyll transition off of that. They can shoot the puck off the rush and we got burned by it.Zuccarello fired a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle past Hellebuyck for his sixth to put the Rangers up 2-1 just past the midpoint of the second.Scheifele tied it 2 minutes later as he pounced on a puck sitting in front of an open net after a shot by Paul Postma was stopped by Lundqvist. It was Scheifeles seventh of the season.Miller skated up the right side and fired a wrist shot over Hellebuycks right shoulder for his fifth, putting the Rangers up 3-2 with 6:59 remaining.Fast gave New York a two-goal lead with 3:36 left as he tipped a point shot by Klein from the right faceoff circle for his second goal. That chased Hellebuyck and brought on Hutchinson.Buchnevich made it 5-2 just 41 seconds later as he slid the puck from his backhand across to the left side in front of Hutchinson and fired it over the sprawled goalie. It was Buchnevichs second of the season and second in two games.It should be on the highlights, Vigneault said. Its going to be up in Canada anyway, they look for goals like that. It was a great goal.The Jets controlled play in the scoreless third period, outshooting the Rangers 9-1, but couldnt get anything past Lundqvist.I dont think we are super pleased with everything in our game but we are finding ways to win games, Lundqvist said.Hayes got the Rangers off to a fast start with his sixth of the season 2:12 into the game. Skating with an extra attacker on a delayed penalty, Hayes took a pass from Klein and fired a slap shot from inside the blue line past Hellebuyck. That gave Hayes a goal in four straight games.Laine tied it with 9:15 left in the first, tipping a point shot by Ben Chiarot for the 18-year-old rookies eighth of the season.Game notes Laine, selected by Winnipeg with the No. 2 overall pick in this years draft, scored for the second straight game after going without a point in his previous four. ...
