Rypien helps Canucks beat Rangers

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - Rick Rypien scored the go-ahead goal 8:48 into the third period, the first of three late goals that lifted the Vancouver Canucks to a 4-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.

Mikael Samuelsson scored his second of the game on a power play with 5:57 left and Henrik Sedin added an empty-netter with 1:24 to play for Vancouver. Andrew Raycroft made 22 saves for his third win in four starts since Roberto Luongo sustained a hairline rib fracture.

Ryan Kesler, who was in the penalty box when the Rangers' Christopher Higgins tied it 6:24 into the third period, had three assists as the Canucks won for the sixth time in eight games despite missing seven injured players.
