NHL Sunday: Rangers defend home ice against Wild

Defensemen Chris Tanev broke a 1-1 tie and scored the game-winner mid-way through the third period for the Canucks.

Rangers 4, Wild 1

Steen’s injury occurred at some point during the second period of the Blues’ 6-0 win in Edmonton on Saturday. He was evaluated during the second intermission and did not return for the third period. The severity of Steen’s injury is unclear at this point.

Steen is enjoying a breakout season in his sixth season as a pro. His 24 goals are second-most in the league and match his previous career-high total for a single season. He’s suddenly become an elite offensive threat in the league and is a big reason why the St. Louis Blues have one of the NHL’s best records at 24-7-4.

Luongo had gone six straight games allowing less than two goals before letting in four in Dallas on Thursday. He’s a big reason why the Canucks have gone 8-1-1 in their last 10 games, so don’t be surprised if he comes out and shuts down the Jets.

Kane returned from a lower-body injury last week and registered four points in three games. He’s also led the team with physicality, something the Jets will try and focus on against the Canucks. Look for the Vancouver native to be extra motivated on Sunday, which should spark the rest of his teammates.
