The Rangers showed well in this one at the Garden, pretty much having their way with the neighbors who’d given them nightmares for years.

This time it came from Igor Shesterkin as he helped lead the team to a 4-0 win over the New York Islanders. The hero of the first period had to go be Will Cuylle. He scored the game’s first goal off of his head while taking a hit that led to Will Borgen’s shorthanded goals and gave the Rangers a commanding 2-0 lead.

The Rangers won a big one Monday, beating the rival Islanders 4-0 to move into a tie with Detroit for the second wild-card spot.

J.T. Miller and Artemi Panarin each had a goal and an assist for the Rangers, who have won four of five and got their second shutout in two nights. Ilya Sorokin finished with 22 saves for the Islanders,
