Glenn Gawdin scores first two NHL goals as Rangers beat Canucks

The Richmond, B.C., forward scored twice in the second period of New York’s 5–1 win in Vancouver on Friday.

Glenn Gawdin scored his first two NHL goals close to home on Friday, helping the New York Rangers beat the Vancouver Canucks 5–1 at Rogers Arena. The 29-year-old forward is from nearby Richmond, B.C.

Gawdin put New York ahead 3–1 at 13:00 of the second period. Vancouver goalie Leevi Meriläinen tried to clear the puck, but it bounced off Filip Chytil and came straight to Gawdin for an unassisted goal. Gawdin tipped in a Vladislav Gavrikov shot at 16:10 for his second.

It was Gawdin’s second game with the Rangers since his recall from the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack. He had played 15 NHL games, dating back to his debut with Calgary in the 2020–21 season.

New York scored four times in the second period after the teams traded goals in the first. Dylan Garand made 27 saves for the Rangers.
