Lundqvist, Rangers blank Canucks to end drought in Vancouver

Bill Clinton was presiding over the Oval Office the last time the Rangers came away with a victory in Vancouver.

But New York ended its 14-year drought behind Henrik Lundqvist's 36th career shutout and four third-period goals en route to a 4-0 win over the Canucks.

The Rangers had dropped their previous five trips to Vancouver since October 11, 1997, when Wayne Gretzky recorded his 50th career hat trick in a 6-3 win.

Lundqvist made 40 saves, while Mike Rupp, Ryan McDonagh, Brian Boyle and Marian Gaborik all scored to give New York its first win following a 0-1-2 start.

Roberto Luongo was beaten four times on just 19 shots as the Canucks lost for the fourth time in six games.
