TAMPA, Fla. -- Artemi Panarin scored three goals, Igor Shesterkin made 34 saves on his 28th birthday, and the NHL-leading New York Rangers defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-1 on Saturday night.

On the back end of consecutive games in Florida, New York bounced back from a 4-3 loss to the Panthers on Friday night, fueled by Panarin's hat trick.

"Honestly, after this game, I feel great. I don't know what can be better [than to] finish the [calendar] year like that," Panarin said.
