>>Rangers Stay Hot, Blast Ducks

 width=

The Ducks' quest to become the top team in the National Hockey League turned out to be a blowout ... for all the wrong reasons.

Derek Stepan broke out of a scoring slump with two goals and one assist, while Keith Yandle contributed three helpers, as the New York Rangers pounded Anaheim by a 7-2 count at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night.

Chris Kreider, Carl Hagelin, J.T. Miller, Jesper Fast and Derick Brassard also tallied for the Rangers, who pumped home a season high in goals and have won seven of their last eight.

Cam Talbot backed the torrent of goals with a 36-save performance.

Corey Perry notched both goals for the Ducks, who could have moved past idle Montreal into first-overall in the NHL with a win, but now face a tie with the Blueshirts and Habs atop the standings with 99 points.

Frederik Andersen lasted just over half of the opening period having allowed three goals on seven shots in the loss. John Gibson finished the contest with 18 saves.
