Lundqvist was superb in picking up his first shutout of the season. His best stop came in the first period when he denied forward Robby Fabbri on a breakaway with a glove save. He improved to 5-3 on the season.
"This was his best game so far this year," Alain Vigneault said. "There's no doubt. More shots - I don't think we gave up more chances - we gave up more shots. But the difference is Hank made those two breakaway saves and when we had opportunities we were able to capitalize."
Kreider finished with five shots on goal to go along with the two helpers in 14:59 of ice time in his return to action.
Five different Rangers scored while 11 different Blueshirts picked up a point. Kreider said that's crucial to a team's success.
"You need depth," he said. "Good teams in this league, they roll four [lines]. That's huge for us going forward."
The Rangers' power play remained hot, going 2-for-6 against a Blues team that surrendered just two power play goals against in 33 opportunities this season.
Vesey now has 10 games under his belt. Not quite a veteran, but he said his confidence level is growing with each passing game.
"I'm starting to really get confident out there. Try some things I might not have tried a couple games ago," Vesey said. "I think confidence is everything in this game. Right now, it's high and I'm riding that."
