Kesler and Andrew Cogliano one each for the Ducks.
Colin Wilson broke up Anaheim goalie John Gibson's shutout bid with

three through eight games this season.
Rangers 5, Bruins 2
NEW YORK -- Brandon Pirri scored two of New York's five consecutive

the Rangers struck for five goals over a 14-minute span across the
second and third periods. Along with Pirri's two goals, Rick Nash,
Jimmy Vesey and Kevin Hayes also scored for the Rangers.
Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist stopped 27 shots to earn the win.
