Kevin Hayes, J.T. Miller score two goals apiece as Rangers thump Canucks 7-2
VANCOUVER — Minus two top-6 forwards, the NHL’s best offence kept rolling.
Kevin Hayes and J.T. Miller each scored twice, and Mats Zuccarello added a goal and two assists Tuesday as the New York Rangers embarrassed the Vancouver Canucks 7-2.
The Rangers, who were without Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich because of injury, now sit at 72 goals on the season through 17 games — 15 more than the next closest club.
“We have a good team and we’re playing the right way,” said Miller. “It’s surprising scoring at the rate we’re scoring at right now, but we’ve got every line chipping in and that’s one of the hardest things to stop.”
