Kreider and Motte helped with 2 goals each.

Chris Kreider and Tyler Motte notched 4 goals – 2 each as New York Rangers won against the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-3 at home on Wednesday night.

Kaapo Kakko and Artemi Panarin were the other goal scorers for the team from the Big Apple. Mika Zibanejad gave 3 assists, and the Rangers won 5 of their last 7 games in the league. Igor Shesterkin had 28 saves.

Alex Killorn scored and assisted; Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 31 shots, but Lightning lost for the 1st time in their last 4 matches.

Ryan Lindgren returned for the Rangers after being unavailable in 17 of the last 18 matches of his team because of upper body damage.

Tampa Bay will stay in New York and face the Islanders on Thursday, while NY Rangers will travel to face St. Louis Blues on the same day.
