VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Even without two of their top forwards, the high-scoring New York Rangers rolled past the Vancouver Canucks.Kevin Hayes and J.T. Miller scored two goals each, Henrik Lundqvist made 36 saves, and the Rangers beat the Canucks 7-2 on Tuesday night.Mats Zuccarello had a goal and two assists, Nick Holden had a goal and an assist and Brandon Pirri also scored for New York, which was without Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich.The Rangers lead the NHL with 72 goals through 17 games -- 15 more than the next-closest club. Their plus-34 scoring differential is also 16 better than Montreal in second place.We have a good team and were playing the right way, Miller said. Its surprising scoring at the rate were scoring at right now, but weve got every line chipping in and thats one of the hardest things to stop.Mika Zibanejad, Jesper Fast and Kevin Klein each added two assists for New York, which has won three straight and eight of its last nine -- with the lone loss in that stretch coming at home against the Canucks last Tuesday.We just know sooner or later good things are going to happen, Lundqvist said. Someone is going to make a big play.Brandon Sutter and Markus Granlund scored for Vancouver and Lucas Sbisa had two assists. Jacob Markstrom finished with 18 saves.Our guys were focused, Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said. It wasnt like we gave up.The Rangers led 3-0 before Sutter got Vancouver on the scoreboard with 40 seconds left in the second period. Hayes and Miller then scored in the first 2 1/2 minutes of the third to help New York pull away.The Canucks came in having won two of three after a stretch in which they lost nine straight (0-8-1). Vancouver beat the Rangers 5-3 at New York to end the long skid and get the only points on a six-game road trip.After picking up wins at Calgary and Edmonton during the weekend, the Rangers led 1-0 after the first period. Miller, who had two great chances early, opened the scoring with 1:18 left on a slick deflection between his own legs, off Sbisa and through Markstroms five-hole.Hayes doubled the lead at 9:08 of the second on a slap shot that beat Markstrom short-side for his seventh. Pirri banged home his fifth off Zibanejads rebound on the power play with 5:22 left in the middle period to make it 3-0.The big thing is when guys are getting an opportunity, they are seeing net, they are not seeing a goalie, Lundqvist said. Thats huge to be able to score when you are under pressure for a while and you get an opportunity and you make them pay. That gives you a lot of confidence.Sutter threw a puck on net from the sideboards that found its way past Lundqvist with Henrik Sedin right in front for his third in the final minute.Hayes scored his second of the game on a breakaway for his eighth at 1:49 of the third, and Miller popped his second of the night and seventh of the year off a pass from Zuccarello just 42 seconds later.Its happened a few times where were a goal or two down going into the third and we give up a goal right away and the games over, said Henrik Sedin, who along with brother Daniel are the only two Vancouver players in double digits for points. We took some chances early on (in the third) and it cost us.Granlund batted his fifth out of the air with about 6 1/2 minutes left to get Vancouver to within three, but Zuccarello made it 6-2 with his seventh with 4:58 remaining before Holden buried his second on a power play about three minutes later to cap the scoring.As a goalie Ive got to make some timely saves, Markstrom said. I did not do that tonight.Game notes Cristoval Nieves was recalled from the AHL and made his NHL debut on New Yorks fourth line. ... Canucks F Jannik Hansen (fractured rib) and D Christopher Tanev (lower body) sat out for Vancouver. ... Sbisa played his 400th NHL game. ...UP NEXTRangers: At Columbus on Friday night in the finale of a four-game trip.Canucks: Host Arizona on Thursday night.

SEATTLE -- For one half on Sunday, the best offense in the NFL was stymied by the leagues best defense.Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan was spending as much time picking himself up off the ground than standing in the pocket looking for options downfield.What followed for Ryan and the Falcons was a third-quarter turnaround that was stunning and a fourth quarter that left Atlanta frustrated after a 26-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks .Atlantas high-flying offensive attack slogged through the first half, woke up during a 21-point third quarter, and made critical mistakes in the fourth quarter that allowed Seattle to rally.Rather than walking away from a two-game road trip with wins at Denver and at Seattle, the Falcons are headed home realizing their missed opportunity.We didnt start the way we wanted to in the first half, but I thought we responded really well in the second half and continued to battle, Ryan said. We just didnt finish the way we wanted to.Ryan finished 27 of 42 for 335 yards and three touchdowns, all coming during the third quarter. He hit Julio Jones for a 36-yard score on the first drive of the second half; found Mohamed Sanu on a 10-yard TD; and later connected with Levine Toilolo on a 46-yarder as the Falcons rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit.For one 15-minute stretch, Ryan could do little wrong. He was 13 of 17 for 220 yards, three touchdowns and a quarterback rating of 157.5 in the third quarter. Ryan turned a 17-3 deficit into a 24-17 lead in a blink, against a defense that prides itself on not giving up big plays.The offense was just clicking. Everybody settled down, said Jones, who had seven catches for 139 yards. Everybody was anxious to play; wed been out here for a week. When you have those matchups like we had today, everybody is ready to show what they have. Nothing about them, just more on us. Settling down and going out there and just playing football.How rare was Ryans performance? Since the start of the 2014 season, the Seahawks have held 25 teams to less than 220 yards passing for a game. Ryan needed just three possessions to accumulate that many yards.What will linger witth the Falcons were the missed opportunities in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd Atlanta ran just three offensive plays and held the ball barely 2 minutes after Seattle kicker Steven Hauschka missed a 29-yard field goal.And three plays after Seattle pulled within 24-23, Ryans pass slipped through Jones hands, and landed in the arms of Earl Thomas.We wanted to stay aggressive at that point there was still plenty of time left, it wasnt just a time where we were going to run it and punt it away and give (Russell Wilson) and that crew going again, we were going to win the game and having the attitude for that, Atlanta coach Dan Quinn said of the play that led to the interception.Weve got excellent guys who know how to attack it just ended up being a tip ball.Ryan started the second half completing 16 of 19 passes, and missed on his final four throws. That final throw wasnt without debate as the Falcons pleaded for a pass interference call against Seattles Richard Sherman, but no flag came.Before I took off, he grabbed my right side and spun me around before I jumped up, Jones said. It was just a missed call. Its over with. Its done. Were onto the next one.The turnaround in the third quarter was stunning because of what Seattle did in the first half limiting the best offense in the NFL.The Falcons had just 86 yards of offense in the first half. Ryan accounted for most of that, hitting on 11 of 17 passes, but for only 83 yards. And he was battered by halftime as well. Ryan was sacked three times and Seattle registered eight quarterback hits in the first half.Atlanta protected Ryan much better in the second half and he made quicker reads and throws. He was hit just five times and sacked once in the second half.You know going into it that its going to be that type of a game, Ryan said. This is a very good defense, theyre extremely physical, and when you play on the road, as a quarterback, you have to prepare yourself for that.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
