Edstrom's 3rd-period goal gives Rangers 2-1 win over the Golden Knights

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Adam Edstrom tipped in Jonny Brodzinski's shot off the rush at 5:57 of the third period for the winning goal in the New York Rangers' 2-1 victory Saturday night over the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Rangers are 4-1-1 since getting outscored 19-6 during a four-game skid. After beating New Jersey 3-2 in overtime Thursday, they've won consecutive games for the first time since a three-game streak from Nov. 14-19.

Vegas, defeated 4-0 on Thursday night by the New York Islanders, lost consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 17 and 20.

Vincent Trocheck scored the other New York goal on a power play, and Igor Shesterkin made 29 saves.

Mark Stone scored on a power play for the Golden Knights. Ilya Samsonov stopped 24 shots.

Vegas' Ivan Barbashev returned after missing 10 games because of an upper-body injury. Even with the missed time, his 15 goals are tied with Brett Howden for the team lead. Barbashev didn't waste any time trying to make an impact, taking a shot on goal 17 seconds into the game.

Rangers: Top linemates Artemi Panarin and Trocheck continue to produce. They each have at least one point in the past four games. Their combined point total during that span is 12 (five goals, seven assists).

Golden Knights: Vegas was fourth in scoring entering the game with an average of 3.46 goals. The Golden Knights have totaled one goal in back-to-back losses.

The Rangers trailed 1-0 in the second period when the puck went off Mika Zibanejad’s stick and hit Trocheck in the stomach. Somehow, Trocheck backhanded the shot into the net to tie the game before immediately heading to the locker room. He returned a short time later.

4 — The number of power-play goals the Rangers have scored in their past three games.

The Rangers are at Colorado on Tuesday night, and the Golden Knights host Minnesota on Sunday night.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s motorcade took a different route than usual to the airport as he was departing Florida on Sunday due to a “suspicious object,” according to the White House.

The object, which the White House did not describe, was discovered during security sweeps in advance of Trump’s arrival at Palm Beach International Airport.

“A further investigation was warranted and the presidential motorcade route was adjusted accordingly,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Sunday.

The president, when asked about the package by reporters, said, “I know nothing about it.”

Trump left his Palm Beach, Florida, club, Mar-a-Lago, around 6:20 p.m. for the roughly 10-minute drive to the airport, but took a circular route around the city to get there.

During the drive, police officers on motorcycles created a moving blockade for the motorcade, at one point almost colliding with the vans that accompanied Trump.

Air Force One was parked on the opposite side of the airport from where it is usually located and the lights outside the plane were turned off.

Anthony Guglielmi, the spokesman for U.S. Secret Service, said the secondary route was taken just as a precaution and that “that is standard protocol.”
