So long, nine-game losing streak.

The Vancouver Canucks put an end to a miserable slide with a 5-3 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night, and finally enjoyed the benefit of some luck, as three players notched their first goals of the season. Most notably, coveted free-agent signing Loui Eriksson finally found the back of the net, 14 games into his tenure in Vancouver.

Although some personal slumps were busted, the beleaguered club was just happy to collect two points.

"Big win for us," starter Jacob Markstrom told reporters. "I thought we did a great job going after it. We were hungry and played a smart hockey game."

Alex Burrows, who also notched his first of the season, echoed the idea that it was team effort.

"After 40 minutes we talked about finding a way to win, not finding a way to lose," he said. "Everyone stepped up tonight."

Wearing the brunt of the blame for the losing streak was head coach Willie Desjardins, and he saw some positives in the club's first win in over three weeks.

"We had some games we deserved to win and didn't," Desjardins said. "We played really well tonight and that's how we have to play."
