The Vancouver Canucks, recently reshaped by a major trade, secured a decisive 3-0 victory against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night. Evander Kane opened the scoring early in the first period, followed by a goal from newcomer Liam Ohgren in the second, extending the Canucks' lead.
Goaltender Thatcher Demko was instrumental in the win, stopping all 23 shots he faced for his first shutout this season and the 10th of his career. The Canucks' defense successfully navigated four power plays, limiting the Rangers' offensive opportunities and frustrating their attempts to gain momentum on home ice.
