NEW YORK -- The New York Rangers cant lose. The Vancouver Canucks cant win.On Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden, nothing has to give.The Rangers have won five in a row, scoring at least five goals in each victory. As was the case in many of their victories this season, the Rangers (10-3-0) won with balance Sunday, as five players scored in a 5-2 victory against the Winnipeg Jets.One of those goal-scorers was rookie Pavel Buchnevich, who scored artfully on a breakaway for his second goal of the season. The third-round pick found the going tough to start the season but is showing signs of getting comfortable, which potentially means another dangerous scorer for the NHLs top offensive team.Hes just getting more and more comfortable with everything, Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist said to the New York Daily News. Coming here from Russia, its a big change culture-wise and language and the way we play the game. So hes just getting more comfortable. Hes going to be a great player here. Fun to watch him play, too.As weird as it sounds, the Rangers didnt feel great after their latest five-goal performance. The game was tied 2-2 midway through the second period before the Rangers blitzed the Jets for three quick goals, then held on tight during the third period and didnt muster a shot on net.That is becoming normal for the Rangers -- scoring five goals, winning by three and not feeling as if they played well.We definitely have got to be careful of starting to cheat and getting away from the way we want to play, Rangers defenseman Marc Staal told the Daily News on Sunday. I thought for stretches last night and tonight we started stretching the zone a little bit and started looking for things that werent there. So as a group weve got to make sure we buckle back down, start playing the way we need to play defensively to create those opportunities in the right way.The Canucks, meanwhile, are in a tailspin that has no signs of ending.After starting 4-0-0, Vancouver has lost nine consecutive games, including a 4-2 defeat to the New York Islanders on Monday night. So not only are the Canucks playing some of the worst hockey in the NHL, but they get to play a Rangers team that has been off since Sunday.The Canucks held a brief early lead against the Islanders and were tied at 2 in the third period before the Islanders struck for two goals in less than two minutes to put the game away.First two periods, we played good hockey, Canucks goaltender Ryan Miller said. Then they get weird bounces and take the game. Its frustrating right now.The Canucks (4-8-1) are 0-8-1 in their past nine games. The last time they lost 10 in a row was from Oct. 23-Nov. 11, 1997, so it is almost the 18-year anniversary of their futility.Three of their goals, our guys go to block them and they end up in favorable situations, Miller said to the Vancouver Sun. We have to find ways to rise up when games unfold that way.The way the Rangers are playing lately, overcoming bounces and a superior opponent wont be easy. Hydro Flask Wide Mouth 18 oz Citroen .

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens most potent offensive weapon is Justin Tucker, a cant-miss kicker who also happens to be a talented opera singer, skilled negotiator and the target of good-natured insults from his teammates.Tucker is the only NFL kicker whos perfect this season. Hes 27 for 27 on field goal tries -- including seven from 50 yards or longer -- and has nailed every one of his 15 conversions.Booting on a soft grass field on a very windy day, Tucker hit field goals of 52, 57, 54 and 36 yards Sunday to carry the Ravens past the Cincinnati Bengals 19-14 .Weve got the best kicker in the league. Theres no doubt about it, Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said afterward. But weve got to keep the young kid humble.Thats the prevailing theme in the locker room of the Ravens, who love their kicker, but go through great lengths to keep him in his place.Theres no way to keep him down, man, quarterback Joe Flacco said.All kidding aside, the Ravens (6-5) know they wouldnt be tied for first place in the AFC North without their unyieldingly reliable kicker. The offense has been limited to one or no touchdowns in six of 11 games, yet Tucker has been there to salvage just about every drive that sputters inside midfield. Hes scored 96 points, a whopping 44 percent of Baltimores season total of 218.When our offense stalls out, were still putting points on the board, linebacker C.J. Mosley said.Tucker is paying solid returns on a four-year, $16.8 million contract he signed in July. The deal included an NFL-record for the position $10.8 million in guaranteed money.One day before the agreement, Tucker -- wearing the teams franchise tag -- said he would leave the Ravens if the sides didnt work out a long-term deal.I told him, `Ive never seen a kicker make some contract demands, but I guess when youre the best kicker in the league, you can do that, Suggs reasoned.Tucker does more than merely take a few kicks during the week and show up on Sunday. He works hard at his craft each day with special teams coach Jerry Rosburg, holder Sam Koch and long snapper Morgan Cox. More often than not, kicking consultant Randy Brown will participate as well.Its imperative to have a consistent operation, Tucker said. It starts with an accurate, fast, catchable snap likee Morgan is able to do time and time again.ddddddddddddThen its important to have a holder whos confident in his hands, who wont hesitate in his movement. Its definitely a big part of the reason why Im able to be confident kicking the ball.The results are profound. Tucker has made 34 straight field goals, two short of Matt Stovers team record. He is on course to become one of only seven NFL kickers to complete a perfect season.He has a lot of confidence, and hes earned the confidence because hes worked so hard, coach John Harbaugh said Monday. Hes talented. But we try to keep him in place and whip him into shape every now and then, make fun of him every opportunity we can. Hes got just a great sense of humor and takes it well.Kicking isnt Tuckers only talent. He also sings opera well enough to perform at various concert halls and charity events.The guys got a lot going for him, certainly more than the average football player.Hes a 27-year-old guy, a performer, a very confident guy, Harbaugh said. You can call it whatever you want in terms of cocky or confident. Whats the balance there? I dont personally think he has a hint of arrogance in him at all. I think hes a fundamentally humble person who loves life, loves to perform.Especially when the Ravens need a long field goal. Tucker insisted on trying that 57-yarder into the wind on Sunday, and believes on a good day he can blast one through the uprights from unprecedented lengths.It is in the realm of possibility for me, with Morgan and Sam, to hit the ball from well across midfield, he said. We are talking about 70-75 yards. What matters is that we made the kicks we were sent out there to make (Sunday), and I will leave it at that.One of these days, maybe even this season, Tucker will miss a kick. If that happens, its a good bet that he will simply shrug it off and get ready for the next one.As a kicker, you have to be able to get over your last kick -- whether its bad or good -- and be able to move on, Koch said. He has the character that allows him to do that. He has fun.
