Chris Kreider scored twice less than 5 minutes apart late in the third period to lift the Rangers to a 4-2 victory over the Hurricanes on Saturday at the Garden.
Derek Stepan had a goal and two assists and Michael Grabner also scored, and Mats Zuccarello had two assists for the Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 21 shots to bounce back from a shaky outing at Buffalo two nights earlier and pick up his 11th win of the season.
Kreider scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:35 left as he knocked in a rebound past Hurricanes goalie Michael Leighton.
