NHL ROUNDUP Wednesday’s games


Canucks 6, Rangers 3

NEW YORK — Alex Burrows scored two of Vancouver’s five goals against Henrik Lundqvist, and the Canucks feasted on turnovers in a victory over the New York Rangers. The highly anticipated duel between Vezina Trophy favorites Lundqvist and Vancouver’s Roberto Luongo never really materialized as the New York netminder was gone 5:33 into the second period. He allowed five goals on 17 shots, but it was hard to blame Lundqvist for any of them. Luongo made a season-high 39 saves.

Bruins 7, Sabres 4

BOSTON — Zdeno Chara and Chuck Kobasew each scored two goals, Marc Savard had a goal and three assists for the Bruins. The Bruins won their sixth straight at home and for the seventh time in the last eight games. Boston’s last regulation loss was Oct. 30 in Calgary. After falling behind 4-2 with 7:23 remaining in the first period, the Bruins scored five unanswered goals. Savard figured in on four of them, giving him 600 points in his career. Savard closed the gap to 4-3 before the end of the first period, and Chara scored a pair of power-play goals sandwiched around Kobasew’s second of the game as the Bruins took a 6-4 lead after two.
