NHL Three Stars: Raanta's 22 saves helps Rangers blank Sharks
No. 1 Star: Antti Raanta, New York Rangers
Raanta recorded his fourth career NHL shutout as the Rangers blanked the San Jose Sharks 4-0. The Finnish netminder made 22 stops as New York snapped a three-game losing streak. Per Elias, Raanta became the fourth Rangers goaltender, and first since 1957, to record a shutout in their debut with the team. He also made this nice save on Tomas Hertl:
No. 2 Star: Marc Staal, New York Rangers
Staal scored a goal and later assisted on Viktor Stalberg’s first of the year. Via Sportsnet, the Rangers have won their last seven games, playoffs included, when Staal has scored.
No. 3 Star: Mats Zuccarello, New York Rangers
Zuccarello continued his hot start to the season by scoring his fourth goal during a second period power play, New York’s man advantage of the game.
Honorable Mention: Jesper Fast scored his first of the season and assisted on another for his first points of the season.

Evander Kane went to the homerun festival at Rogers Centre in style.
Dishonorable Mention: San Jose failed on both of their power plays … After winning four in a row to start the season, the Sharks have dropped two straight … Martin Jones allowed four goals, the first time this season he’s allowed more than one in a game.
