NEW YORK (AP) — Igor Shesterkin stopped 30 shots for his first shutout of the season and the Rangers beat the Calgary Flames 2-0 on Monday night for their fifth straight win.
Will Cuylle and Jimmy Vesey scored for the Rangers, who are 6-1-1 in their last eight games. Shesterkin got his 12th career shutout and second straight win to improve to 21-12-1 on the season.
Jacob Markstrom finished with 29 saves as the Flames snapped a four-game win streak.
After a scoreless first period and several dazzling saves by Markstrom, Cuylle finally broke through with 7:29 remaining in the second as he slid a loose puck past the goalie in the crease for his ninth goal.
Vesey had an empty-netter with 19 seconds remaining in the third for his 12th to seal the win.
Shesterkin’s best late-game save was swatting away a high shot by Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson three minutes into the third period.
The Rangers went 0-for-3 on the power-play to extend their slump to 0-for-17 over the last seven games.
Markstrom denied Rangers forwards Vincent Trocheck and Blake Wheeler from in close late in the first, then stopped Wheeler again five minutes into the second.
The Swedish goalie also made a pad stop on Jonny Brodzinski 12 minutes into the second just before Cuylle’s goal and smothered a shot by Alexis Lafreniere with 3:50 left in the middle period to keep it a one-goal game. Lafreniere nearly scored short-side on Markstrom early in the third but the puck bounced off the post.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
