Chris Kreider scores 2 to lead Rangers to win over Jets

Theo Fleury tells Laura Ingraham Canadians don’t want government involved in their lives --- they want their freedom back.

Chris Kreider scored twice and the New York Rangers beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 Sunday night.

Mike Zibanejad and Barclay Goodrow also scored for the Rangers, and Artemi Panarin and Jacob Trouba each had two assists. New York won its third straight.

"The team is playing well," Kreider said. "Our play has been clicking. I am playing with some unbelievable linemates and unbelievable defensemen every time I’m on the ice."

Igor Shesterkin stopped 45 shots to pick up his 28th win of the season.

"Yeah, I had lots of work today, but we did a great job," said Shesterkin, who leads the league in goals-against-average (1.93) and save percentage (.942). "Blocked shots, lots. PK, great job, and solid play."

It has become old hat for Rangers coach Gerard Gallant.

"Same old, same old," he said. "He’s played great. He’s solid and made some big saves, especially the first period of the game. We got the early lead. It wasn’t a great game. I mean the shots (46 for Winnipeg) didn’t indicate the game for me. ... He made some key saves."

Nikolaj Ehlers scored for Winnipeg, and Connor Hellebuyck finished with 18 saves.

"He’s (Shesterkin) had a pretty great season and he’s a pretty good goalie," Ehlers said. "The shots are fine but we say it a lot. We had some traffic in front of the net but not enough, I think. We had some good chances,
