Jonny Brodzinski scored twice, Urho Vaakanainen had a goal and two assists and the Rangers​ beat the Islanders​ 5-1 at UBS Arena on Tuesday night.
The New York Rangers have made a few big trades this season including acquiring left-handed defenseman Urho Vaakanainen and a fourth-round pick from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for their captain Jacob Trouba on Dec.
Urho Vaakanainen is in his seventh NHL season, and the Rangers are his third team, but the 26-year-old defenseman never has reached the playoffs.
Jonny Brodzinski and Urho Vaakanainen each had an NHL career-high three points to power the New York Rangers past the New York Islanders 5-1 on Tuesday at UBS Arena. The win was their second straight and fifth in the past seven games.
Matthew Knies broke a tie 6:21 into the third period, and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the New York Rangers 3-2 at Madison Square Garden in New York on Friday.
