NEW YORK -- Jimmy Vesey scored two goals in 29 seconds to help the New York Rangers defeat the Boston Bruins 4-2 at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday and win their fifth straight game.
Vesey, who had two goals in 16 games before Wednesday, broke a 1-1 tie in the first period to give the Rangers the lead. He put a bouncing puck that Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo was unable to clear past Tuukka Rask at 14:41 to make it 2-1 before scoring again at 15:10 off a rebound of a shot by Kevin Shattenkirk for a 3-1 lead.
