Kyle Connor and Pierre-luc Dubois also scored for the Jets, who are 6-30 in their past nine visits to Madison Square Garden.

Vincent Trocheck scored for the Rangers, who were 8-0-2 in their previous 10 games.
■ Islanders 4, Penguins 2: At Pittsburgh, Bo Horvat and Anders
Lee scored less than two minutes apart as New York pulled off its second late comeback over the Penguins in three days when Horvat beat Tristan Jarry to the short side with 11:26 remaining to tie it. Jarry turned it over behind the Pittsburgh net moments later, kickstarting a sequence that ended with Lee jamming it home to give the injuryravaged Islanders the lead.
The team’s playoff pursuit was dealt a devastating blow before the game when it announced center
Mat Barzal is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.
■ Sharks 4, Kraken 0: At San Jose, James Reimer stopped 26 shots for his second shutout of the season and Logan Couture, Evgeny Svechnikov, Noah Gregor and Michael Eyssimont scored for San Jose, which snapped a three-game skid.
