Mika Zibanejad scored once in a three-point game and K'Andre Miller notched the game-winning goal in overtime as the visiting New York Rangers claimed a 4-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.

Artemi Panarin and Adam Fox both collected one goal and one assist for the Rangers, who are on a four-game winning streak. Goaltender Igor Shesterkin made 30 saves, including three game-savers against Andrei Kuzmenko in overtime.

J.T. Miller, Tyler Myers and Carson Soucy replied for the Canucks, who saw their three-game winning streak snapped. Goalie Casey DeSmith stopped 20 shots.

On the winning goal, Miller joined a rush up ice and buried a one-timer set up by Chris Kreider at 3:48 of overtime.

The Canucks argued that the officials missed a tripping infraction that directly led to New York's game-winning rush up ice.

Regardless, it was an entertaining, back-and-forth game.

Panarin opened the scoring during a five-on-three power play when he ripped a long shot inside the left post at 9:18 of the first period. With his fourth goal of the season, Panarin has collected points in all eight games this season.

The Canucks regrouped and took the lead with a couple of special-teams goals of their own. Miller tied the game on the power play when he deflected a high point shot into the net for his fourth marker of the season at 15:57 of the second period.

Myers put the hosts ahead with a short-handed goal at 9:06 of the third period when he stole the puck at his own blue line and shot on the ensuing rush for his second goal of the season.

The Rangers potted a pair of power-play goals 63 seconds apart to retake the lead, the first by Fox when he redirected Panarin's shot into the net for his third goal of the season at 12:21, and the second when Zibanejad pounced on a loose puck at the doorstep for his first tally of the season.

But Soucy again tied the score when he blasted a top-shelf point shot through the screen with 4:18 remaining in regulation for his second goal of the campaign.
