NEW YORK -- The Vancouver Canucks broke through with their biggest scoring outburst of the season, got a strong defensive effort and some big saves from their goalie.Indeed, it took a complete team effort to end their long losing streak.Alexandre Burrows scored twice in the third period, and Henrik Sedin and Sven Baertschi each had a goal and an assist to help the Canucks snap a nine-game skid with a 5-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.Loui Eriksson also scored for the Canucks, who were 0-8-1 with eight straight regulation losses since opening the season with four wins. Bo Horvat had two assists and Jacob Markstrom finished with 23 saves as Vancouver won for the first time since beating Buffalo on Oct. 20.I thought we played the right way, Burrows said. We did a lot of good things defensively at the lines. We pressured a really good team, a fast team, and on the D side, we made some good plays, good reads. ... (Markstrom) played great again and its a big team win.The Canucks, outscored 28-9 with four shutouts in the previous eight games, had their most goals since a 4-3 overtime win against Carolina on Oct. 16 in the second game of the season.Burrows took advantage of a loose puck to give the Canucks a 3-2 lead at 9:21 of the third. Henrik Lundqvist made a sprawling save on a shot in close by Horvat, but the puck stayed out at the right side as several players jabbed at it before Burrows knocked it in for his first of the season.It was nice, especially at that time in the game, Burrows said. Were in a situation now where we (hadnt) won in a while, so any time you can score it makes it feel even better.Rick Nash, Pavel Buchnevich and Mika Zibanejad scored for the Rangers, who had won five straight while scoring at least five goals in each game. Buchnevich also had two assists.Antti Raanta stopped 20 shots, though he left for 6:19 in the third period after being run into by the Canucks Markus Granlund. Lundqvist made four saves on six shots while filling in.They were a desperate team and they played like it tonight, Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh said. They won more puck battles than us and they had the puck a little bit more than us. And when they had opportunities to score, they beared down and capitalized.Baertschi put Vancouver ahead by two as he tipped in a centering pass by Jack Skille for his first of the season with 6:52 left. Burrows added an empty-netter with 3:06 remaining to make it 5-2, and Zibanejad scored for the Rangers with 59 seconds to go to cap the scoring.Thats how you score goals in this league, Eriksson said. You need to be hungry in front of the net. I thought we stepped up really well today. It was nice to get the win.Sedin put the Canucks ahead 2-1 at 2:29 of the third when he fired a slap shot past Raanta for his fifth goal. It came just 8 seconds after Sedin came out of the penalty box following a high-sticking infraction.Nash tied it at 5:27 with his 400th career goal. With the Rangers on a power play, Buchnevich sent a pass from the right faceoff circle to Nash at the left side of the net and the veteran left wing tipped it into the open net.Buchnevich got the Rangers on the board at 7:20 with his third of the season, scoring for the third straight game. Markstrom got a piece of the puck but it got past the goalie and trickled over the goal line. Brady Skjei got an assist on the play, giving him one for the sixth straight game.The Canucks tied it with 4:42 left in the second on Erikssons first with the Canucks. He took a centering pass from Daniel Sedin from the left side of the net, slid to the right side and backhanded the puck over the legs of a sprawled Ranta.Game notes Daniel Sedins assist on Erikssons goal gave him a point in three straight games (two goals, one assist). Daniel Sedin has six goals and seven assists in 16 games against the Rangers. ... Henrik Sedin has four goals and eight assists in 15 games against the Rangers. ... Coming off a 4-2 loss at the New York Islanders on Monday night, Vancouver completed the fifth of 15 back-to-backs this season. The Canucks are 2-3-0 on the second nights. ... The Rangers and Canucks conclude their season series on Nov. 15 at Vancouver. ... The Rangers were called for two penalties after having been whistled for an NHL-low 78 penalty minutes in their first 13 games.UP NEXTCanucks: At Detroit on Thursday night in the finale of a six-game trip.Rangers: At Calgary on Saturday in the opener of a four-game trip.---Follow Vin Cherwoo at www.twitter.com/VinCherwooAP Nike Basketball Shoes Clearance .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit.

LOUIS -- St. Fake Air Max 97 . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. A new marketing campaign by Under Armour that debuts Monday buries Stephen Currys story as being the product of his father, with a chip on his shoulder because of his size. It seeks to rid him of his previous nicknames and focuses on one thing: The loss, or as its called in the ad, the missed championship. With a bunch of kids providing an assist, Curry seeks to Make That Old.Yes, Curry is no longer an underdog. His team coughing up a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals, combined with the feel-good story of LeBron James delivering a championship to his hometown, has attached a negativity to Curry thats never been there before. Throw in Kevin Durant, which makes the Golden State Warriors the overwhelming favorites this coming season, and Currys character is much more complex than it was before.The marketing change also mirrors the change in the relationship between Under Armour and Curry. The past 18 months have been gravy for the two. A slow-moving shoe business, which took almost a decade to jump-start, got a huge boost when Nike passed on renewing Currys deal for less than $4 million annually. Curry switched companies and, two MVPs and a title later, Under Armour finally found itself on the feet of kids in the coveted 8- to 18-year-old demographic.Under Armour did its part, too. The endorsement model only worked because the product was finally up to par -- a long way from the Micro G model worn by Brandon Jennings.Now that Curry has helped build an annual $200 million business, the pressure is on. One out of every four dollars Under Armour makes comes from shoes, and expectations are high for another great year. The money in Currys deal rose this year, which likely makes him the fourth-highest earner in the shoe business behind Michael Jordan, James and Durant. Curry will make more from Under Armour this year than he will from the Warriors ($12.1 million). With more money to be paid out, Under Armour is testing how much consumers are willing to pay.For the third version of Currys shoe, which debuts in Warriors colors nationwide Tuesday, Under Armour is charging $140 a pair -- up from $120 for the Curry 1, $130 for the Curry 2 and $135 for the Curry 2.5.What cconsumers will get for that money is not only a shoe worn by Curry, but also one made out of parachute fibers.dddddddddddd It even has a trademarked name, Threadborne.Under Armour also wants to position these shoes to have an appeal beyond basketball. Thats somewhat of a challenge with Curry. Because Curry has ankle issues, he has to wear high-top shoes. High-top shoes are fine to play basketball in, but low- and mid-top shoes tend to sell better these days. Its the people who dont play basketball but buy the shoes that make or break a business.The solution is to do two things. First, market the low-top version of the shoes by having Curry wear them during warmups, since playing in them has long been ruled out.With my ankle history, thats not something that would make me feel that secure on the floor but I love wearing lows, Curry said. I feel really free in the lows. Its a cool way to switch it up and have a different look.After the scrutiny on Curry for the plain white Curry 2 low-tops called the Chef, Curry wanted to wear them for Game 4 of last years NBA Finals. But no dice, and Curry said theres no shot in the future, either, as Warriors executives and his agent Jeff Austin will shackle me to the locker room.The other thing Under Armour needs to do is figure out the ratio of those who prefer to play in their shoes versus those who simply want to walk around in them.Fans and sneakerheads alike will notice that the Curry 3 does not have big Under Armour logos on the side as the previous versions did, leading some to wonder if the brand is following Adidas, which hasnt been afraid to minimize the three stripes on its shoes.Adrienne Lofton, senior vice president of global brand marketing, said it has more to do with the contour of the shoe. But a ?lack of branding could pay dividends in a space where Under Armour isnt the biggest player.The bottom line? Curry is no longer an underdog and neither is Under Armour, which should do slightly less than $5 billion in business in 2016. Now comes the hardest part, for both of them. ' ' '
