NHL: New York Rangers at San Jose Sharks
By JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer
Mika Zibanejad scored the tying and go-ahead goals in less than five minutes during the third period and the New York Rangers spoiled interim coach Bob Boughner’s debut with San Jose by beating the Sharks 6-3. Artemi Panarin added two insurance goals, including an empty-netter, to give him his first hat trick with New York. Jesper Fast also scored and Alexandar Georgiev made 15 saves to help the Rangers win for the seventh time in 11 games. San Jose has lost six straight.
