Just one game after Matt Puempel scored his first NHL Hat Trick Chris Kreider tallied the second of his career to help the Rangers deafeat the Avalanche 6-2 to close out 2016.
Colorado took the early lead until Chris Kreider scored two goals in the first period. Colorado tied the game to take it to the second period 2-2.
The Rangers continued their strong play and scored four unanswered goals, 1 more by Kreider, 2 from J.T. Miller and 1 from Jimmy Vesey. The Chris Kreider-Derek Stepan-Mats Zuccarello line has now tallied 20 points (8 goals, 12 assists) over the last 4 games.
Captain Ryan McDonagh picked up his team leading 23rd assist of the season in the win.
The Win earned Henrik Lundqvist the all-time leader in wins by a European-born goalie in NHL history and moved him into 12th place on the NHL’s all-time wins list.
