Edmonton, AB (SportsNetwork.com) – Yannick Weber scored the go-ahead goal with 8:28 remaining and the Vancouver Canucks escaped with a 5-4 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday. Radim Vrbata scored twice, including once on the power play, and Jannik Hansen had a short-handed goal for the Canucks, who were coming off a four-day break after losing 5-0 to Phoenix last Friday. David Perron’s would-be tying goal for Edmonton in the final seconds was waved off after a replay review showed he kicked the puck in with his skate. The Oilers rallied back from deficits of 2-0 and 3-1 to tie the score on Andrew Ference’s goal on a long slap shot 6:21 into the third period but suffered their fourth straight loss. Ryan Miller allowed four goals on 32 shots for the win and Ben Scrivens let in all five of the Canucks goals on 31 shots.

Final Score: NY Rangers 2, Philadelphia 0

New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) – Cam Talbot stopped all 31 shots faced for his first shutout of the season, and the New York Rangers claimed a 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden. Kevin Klein and Rick Nash supplied the necessary offense for the Rangers, who have won eight consecutive regular-season games over their division rivals. Steve Mason was largely solid, making 32 saves for the Flyers, who have dropped three in a row after winning three straight.
