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.

Stitched Authentic Jerseys . Self was acquired from the Buffalo Bandits in a trade for Alex Hill midway through last season, and made his debut in Rochester on March 16, 2013.Virat Kohli has said he was thankful for Indias tour of England in 2014, when he totalled 134 runs in five Tests, because it has led to his becoming a really improved cricketer.I can put it very simply as that was a phase I didnt perform very well and it happened to be England, Kohli said on the eve the first Test of the home series against England in Rajkot. Could have been any other country in the world.I just take it as a setback in my career and not motivate myself in a way that I have to prove people wrong or have to do something special against a particular opposition. For me, Im playing a cricket ball, be it any game, any opposition, anywhere in the world. Those things do not change for me so I dont put those things in my headKohli had seemed an anxious batsman in conditions that assisted sideways movement, and against bowlers capable of troubling him over after over. To complicate matters, a strength that had made him so dominant in one-day cricket became a weakness - his tendency to hit the ball with hard hands. Over 10 innings, never did he last more than 75 balls at the crease.Upon his return home, Kohli concentrated on managing this weakness. He had a few sessions with Sachin Tendulkar at the Wankhede Stadium to assess flaws in his game. After the Australia tour later that year, he narrowed his stance considerably. The wider stance served him well in Australia, but the new one helped him stay more upright when facing the ball, and better balanced to press forward or push back. Couple that with better judgement outside his off stump, and the result was Kohlis averaging 54.80 in 31 innings since August 2014. He has been able to convert seven out of ten fifty-plus scores into hundreds, including two double-hundreds.This has, in turn, given Kohli the confidence to look back on a tough stage of his career as just that and not think himself weak against a particular opposition.While Kohli has not often faced conditions where the ball jags around as much as it does in England, those statistics indicate he has not only been careful to start well - avoiding playing away from his body - but also trust in his ability once he got set. The cover drive is a richly productive stroke for him and Kohli has not abandoned it because it ccould get him out; during the 200 in Antigua, he understood the pitch was good enough to hit through the line and began doing so quite early.dddddddddddd.Kohlis skill and quickness in addressing an issue - whether it was gaining strength to hit sixes in limited-overs cricket or pacing himself to bat long in Tests - has made him a fierce adversary. He expects the same from his team-mates as well.On the field, the one thing that we always maintain is the intensity has to be high all the time because you want to make the opposition feel as if you cant afford to make a mistake rather than giving them an opportunity to get into the game, he said. Those are the things we focus on, pretty small targets. We dont focus on things too far into the future.India face England after whitewashing New Zealand 3-0 and reclaiming the No. 1 ranking in Tests. They allowed Kane Williamson only one score of fifty or more. They robbed Ross Taylor of confidence. They had the resources to exploit a turning track in Kanpur, a seaming track in Kolkata, and a basic subcontinent track in Indore. India coach Anil Kumble was particularly pleased that barring one innings, his bowlers have been able to take 20 wickets in every Test since the Caribbean tour. While that was praise of the players ability, Kohli spoke about the mind-set the team has adopted.The mind set is not to compete anymore, we want to win series, win Test matches, and for that we need to be at our A-game all the time, he said. And even keep improving on your A-game as well. The guys are ready for the challenge. I think these kind of matches and series are something you play for, against top sides, it tests your character, it tests your skill and you come out as a better cricketer regardless of the result.This team has bought into the idea that a collective team performance is far better than an individual standing out and team not winning. Thats one thing thats really been pleasing as captain in this particular team. Everyone is really selfless, they play for the side, they play for what the team demands in different situations and thats the best quality of the side. ' ' '
