New York Rangers at Toronto Maple Leafs
· National Hockey LeagueKreider scores 2, Shesterkin has 34 saves as Rangers beat Maple Leafs 4-1
Alexis Lafreniere and Artemi Panarin also scored for the Rangers, and Mika Zibanejad and Reilly Smith each had two assists. New York improved to 4-0-1 on the season.
Auston Matthews scored for Toronto and Anthony Stolarz finished with 25 saves.
Shesterkin made a number of big stops throughout the night, including on John Tavares and a two on William Nylander.
Matthews, who led the NHL with 69 goals last season, broke the Russian goalie's shutout bid in the third period when he cut New York’s lead to 2-1 before Kreider and Panarin scored empty-netters.
The Rangers have won their first three road games to start a season for just the third time in franchise history — and for the first time in 92 years. New York also accomplished the feat in 1927-28 and 1931-32.
NYR lead series 1-0
