NEW YORK -- The Vancouver Canucks broke through with their biggest scoring outburst of the season, got a strong defensive effort and some big saves from their goalie.Indeed, it took a complete team effort to end their long losing streak.Alexandre Burrows scored twice in the third period, and Henrik Sedin and Sven Baertschi each had a goal and an assist to help the Canucks snap a nine-game skid with a 5-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.Loui Eriksson also scored for the Canucks, who were 0-8-1 with eight straight regulation losses since opening the season with four wins. Bo Horvat had two assists and Jacob Markstrom finished with 23 saves as Vancouver won for the first time since beating Buffalo on Oct. 20.I thought we played the right way, Burrows said. We did a lot of good things defensively at the lines. We pressured a really good team, a fast team, and on the D side, we made some good plays, good reads. ... (Markstrom) played great again and its a big team win.The Canucks, outscored 28-9 with four shutouts in the previous eight games, had their most goals since a 4-3 overtime win against Carolina on Oct. 16 in the second game of the season.Burrows took advantage of a loose puck to give the Canucks a 3-2 lead at 9:21 of the third. Henrik Lundqvist made a sprawling save on a shot in close by Horvat, but the puck stayed out at the right side as several players jabbed at it before Burrows knocked it in for his first of the season.It was nice, especially at that time in the game, Burrows said. Were in a situation now where we (hadnt) won in a while, so any time you can score it makes it feel even better.Rick Nash, Pavel Buchnevich and Mika Zibanejad scored for the Rangers, who had won five straight while scoring at least five goals in each game. Buchnevich also had two assists.Antti Raanta stopped 20 shots, though he left for 6:19 in the third period after being run into by the Canucks Markus Granlund. Lundqvist made four saves on six shots while filling in.They were a desperate team and they played like it tonight, Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh said. They won more puck battles than us and they had the puck a little bit more than us. And when they had opportunities to score, they beared down and capitalized.Baertschi put Vancouver ahead by two as he tipped in a centering pass by Jack Skille for his first of the season with 6:52 left. Burrows added an empty-netter with 3:06 remaining to make it 5-2, and Zibanejad scored for the Rangers with 59 seconds to go to cap the scoring.Thats how you score goals in this league, Eriksson said. You need to be hungry in front of the net. I thought we stepped up really well today. It was nice to get the win.Sedin put the Canucks ahead 2-1 at 2:29 of the third when he fired a slap shot past Raanta for his fifth goal. It came just 8 seconds after Sedin came out of the penalty box following a high-sticking infraction.Nash tied it at 5:27 with his 400th career goal. With the Rangers on a power play, Buchnevich sent a pass from the right faceoff circle to Nash at the left side of the net and the veteran left wing tipped it into the open net.Buchnevich got the Rangers on the board at 7:20 with his third of the season, scoring for the third straight game. Markstrom got a piece of the puck but it got past the goalie and trickled over the goal line. Brady Skjei got an assist on the play, giving him one for the sixth straight game.The Canucks tied it with 4:42 left in the second on Erikssons first with the Canucks. He took a centering pass from Daniel Sedin from the left side of the net, slid to the right side and backhanded the puck over the legs of a sprawled Ranta.Game notes Daniel Sedins assist on Erikssons goal gave him a point in three straight games (two goals, one assist). Daniel Sedin has six goals and seven assists in 16 games against the Rangers. ... Henrik Sedin has four goals and eight assists in 15 games against the Rangers. ...

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Joanna Rowsell-Shand was still cherishing her latest Olympic gold medal when teammate Becky James rallied on the final lap of the womens keirin to win a silver of her own.Yes, another British medal haul is underway at the Rio de Janeiro Games.The squad of Rowsell-Shand, Katie Archibald, Laura Trott and Elinor Barker beat the world champion United States in the finals of the womens team pursuit Saturday, their second straight victory in the event -- in record time -- giving their powerful track program its third gold medal.James gave them their fourth overall when she took silver behind Dutch rider Elise Ligtlee.All the coaching and support we get, the performance support, its all based around peaking every four years, said Rowsell-Shand, part of the team that also beat the U.S. at the London Games.Britain won seven of the 10 gold medals possible on the track four years ago. Its mens sprint team and mens pursuit team have already won gold in Rio, and defending Olympic champion Jason Kenny is due to meet teammate Callum Skinner in the sprint finals on Sunday.That means the British are already assured of another gold and silver.Pretty amazing, James said of the success. Im still buzzing off it.The British womens pursuit team actually trailed the Americans after the first quarter of the race, but pulled ahead by nearly a second by the midway point. The four women cruised to the finish in 4 minutes, 12.454 seconds, breaking the record they set in the semifinal round.The U.S. team of Kelly Catlin, Chloe Dygert, Jennifer Valente and Sarah Hammer took silver in 4:12.454, while Canada beat New Zealand for bronze in 4:14.627.Im still so proud of the team and what we accomplished, Hammer said. I feel like were kind of the little team that could going against the big `ole machine of Great Britain.It was a busy third day of competition at the velodrome, and not just for riders.A spectacular crash in the second heat of the womens keirin Friday morning left a gouge about halfway up the track midway through the first and second turns. Officials patched it up with duct tape and then used wood filler and sanded it down between a break in competition.ddddddddddddDuring the same break, workers in the stands appeared to do some repair work on seats.All their sawing, drilling and clanging was over by the time the night session began, and would have been drowned out anyway by the roars from the crowd packed inside the broiling venue.The heat began building in the night session as the pursuit finalists took to the track, and a heavily pro-Britain crowd -- Union Jack flags again flying from the railings -- let out a roar.The Americans on their high-tech, left-side drive bikes got off the start line quickly, taking a half-second lead on their rivals by the first 500 meters. But that lead was wiped out over the next two laps, and the two heavyweights began trading the lead for several more circuits.By the midway point, the British team had a half-second lead and was firmly in control.All that was left to decide over the final 2,000 meters was whether the British team would break its own world record, and even that was hardly a question. The team smashed it by 2 seconds.James nearly gave the Brits another gold medal in the keirin.Ligtlee went to the front on the final lap of the six-rider sprinting event, while James was last in the field. But she took to the outside through the first and second corners and overcame three rivals down the backstretch, putting a charge into the partisan crowd.The extra distance of riding outside proved to be a bit too much to overcome.Ligtlee held on during the drag-race to the finish line, giving the Netherlands another cycling medal to go with the three won by Anna van der Breggen and Tom Dumoulin on the road.James was content with silver in the event retired British star Victoria Pendleton won four years ago, while Anna Meares of Australia walked away with her sixth Olympic track cycling medal.This is my first Olympics, Ligtlee said, and my dream has always been to win a gold medal. But when I started here I didnt know what to expect. And now here I am, standing with the gold medal. ' ' '
