NEW YORK: Cam Talbot made 31 saves for his first win of the season and fourth career NHL shutout as the New York Rangers ended a three-game losing streak with a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.

New York beat the Flyers for the ninth straight time at Madison Square Garden in the regular season. Talbot got the win while subbing for Henrik Lundqvist, who served as his backup.

It was Talbot’s first victory since another shutout at Edmonton on March 30 — a span of six games for the goalie. Kevin Klein scored in the first period, and Rick Nash had a goal in the second.

In the only other NHL game, the Vancouver Canucks won their fourth game of the season over the Edmonton Oilers, 5-4.

Radim Vrbata scored two goals in the second period, and Jannik Hansen, Chris Higgins and Yannick Weber each added goals.

Canucks goalie Ryan Miller improved to 11-0 in his career against Edmonton, now the longest active win streak against a single team in the NHL. He had 28 saves.

The Oilers have lost four in a row and are winless against the Western Conference in 10 games this season.
