Glenn Gawdin scores his first two NHL goals in Rangers win

Glenn Gawdin scored his first two NHL goals near his hometown Friday, both in a four-goal second period that sent the New York Rangers to a 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks.

The 29-year-old from Richmond, British Columbia, was playing his second game for New York after a Wednesday recall from Hartford and his 15th NHL game overall. Gawdin scored his first after a clearing attempt came to him off teammate Filip Chytil. Vladislav Gavrikov’s shot went in off Gawdin’s skate for the second. The Canucks lost their seventh straight.
