Igor Shesterkin stopped 36 of 39 shots and the New York Rangers got two goals from Jonny Brodzinksi in the third period to come away with an improbable 5-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday afternoon at MSG.

Jonny Brodzinski scored his second goal of the game late in the third period and Igor Shesterkin made 36 saves as the New York Rangers downed the Vancouver Canucks 5-3 on Saturday to snap a three-game losing streak.

But after being outplayed and largely embarrassed for two periods on Saturday by the Vancouver Canucks in the finale of their homestand, the Rangers got two third-period goals by Jonny Brodzinski to pull out an unlikely 5-3 victory over the Canucks at the Garden that kept them from getting swept on the homestand and kept their hopes alive in the playoff race.
