VANCOUVER -- It wasn't a perfect win nor was it how they drew it up, but any win that ends a seven-game winless slide is one the Rangers will take.
New York held - and surrendered - three separate leads, including a 3-0 first period advantage and another in the final minute of regulation, but it came down to a goal by John Gilmour 1:22 into overtime gave the Rangers a 6-5 win over the Canucks.
"It was a roller coaster, that's for sure," said Henrik Lundqvist, who finished the game with 50 saves. "A lot of goals, a lot of chances. It was a battle."
